| Scientific Name | Pseudanthias luzonensis |
Aquarium Suitability: Generally Durable and Hardy
Diet: Omnivorous; requires a varied diet including enriched frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, and zooplankton. Feed small portions multiple times daily (3-4 times) for optimal health.
Reef Safe: Yes
Captive Care: The Blood Spot Anthias brings vibrant color and lively schooling to reef aquariums, making it a standout choice for hobbyists seeking dynamic midwater activity. Suitable for intermediate setups, it benefits from ample open swimming space, live rock for occasional hiding, and subdued lighting to ease acclimation. A secure lid prevents jumping, and introducing a group at once promotes natural harem formation.
