Lyretail Anthias: The Dazzling Jewel of Your Reef

Add a splash of vibrant colour and dynamic activity to your marine aquarium with the stunning Lyretail Anthias. These graceful swimmers thrive in a well-maintained reef environment.

Overview
The Lyretail Anthias (*Pseudanthias squamipinnis*) is celebrated for its striking sexual dimorphism. Males boast a vivid fuchsia to reddish-violet body with an elongated dorsal spine and caudal fin, reaching up to 15 cm. Females, smaller and golden-orange, are equally enchanting. They are active, schooling fish, typically seen darting through the mid to upper water column, adding constant motion and brilliance to your setup.

Care Level
Considered moderately difficult, Lyretail Anthias are best for experienced aquarists. They are peaceful towards most tank mates but maintain a strict harem hierarchy, with one male overseeing several females. Provide ample space to avoid aggression. They are reef-safe, making them ideal inhabitants for your vibrant coral displays.

Tank Essentials
A minimum aquarium size of 300 litres is recommended for a small group, allowing ample swimming space. Maintain stable water parameters: a temperature of 22-28°C and a pH range of 8.0-8.5. Strong water flow and high oxygenation, mimicking their natural reef habitat, are crucial for their well-being.

Diet
These active planktivores require frequent, small feedings throughout the day due to their high metabolism. Offer a varied diet of high-quality frozen and live foods, such as enriched mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, and finely chopped meaty fare.
