Lyretail Anthias (Indian)

Description

The Lyretail Anthias (Indian) (Pseudanthias squamipinnis) is a vibrant and highly sought-after marine fish, admired for its vivid coloration and lively schooling behavior. Constantly active in the water column, it brings movement and striking visual appeal to any reef or marine aquarium.

A spacious aquascape is recommended, with open swimming areas and plenty of live rock for shelter and grazing. Take care when introducing alongside similarly shaped species, as territorial behavior can occur—particularly with tangs, wrasses, and other active swimmers.

Their diet should be diverse and nutrient-rich, including algae sheets or spirulina for herbivorous needs, along with frozen meaty foods such as mysis shrimp and enriched brine. Frequent small feedings throughout the day help sustain their vivid colors, vitality, and long-term health.

The Lyretail Anthias (Indian) is available now at Ocean in a Box, offered at the best price for your reef aquarium.
