More Details

The Huchtii Anthias, Pseudoanthias huchtii, is hermaphroditic meaning all are born females, and when needed the dominant female turns into male. They also display sexual dimorphism with the male displaying a yellow/green body color wit a horizontal orange stripe just behind the eyes and electric blue highlighting the fins and tail while the female displays the same yellow/green body and orange stripe behind the eyes though is not nearly as vivid and has no blue highlights. They can be kept as a mated pair, or in a small school of females. Avoid keeping two males in the same tank, as it can lead to extreme aggression.

They are pretty hardy and can be kept in a reef tank setting with plenty of live rock. Diet should include a variety of a steady supply of copepods, frozen mysis and vitamin enriched brine shrimp, as well as high quality flake foods 3-5 times daily.
