Fish inquiry....

[oz]

Anyone ever heard of or seen a Red Line Anthia? Not to be confused with the red bar anthia.

I have this fish now and can't find any references to it. 4-5" male I believe that has an incredible neon face with yellow and blue lines. in the body is a thick red strip that starts at his gills and goes to his tail. the tail is forked. He's a light yellow color, has pretty big teeth and is semi-aggressive.

I can post a pick later if he comes out.

Yeah, they arent available often, but they are pretty. Males and females arent as dimorphic as other anthias. Husbandry is comparable to a squarespot anthia.

What do you mena "eat everything"/ I highly doubt they would knock over corals and eat anything asie from planktonic foods. Defintiely not corals or inverts. Are you thinking of the right fish?

- I am normally not an Anthia fan but this guy is incredible. Already swimming in the front of the tank, not being messed with by anyone and eating like a champ. <12 hours after moving from a section of my fuge to the main tank.

I got him from a LFS where I've been several times over the past couple months and never saw him. They had him for a while, can't believe he stayed hidden for that long. I had the guy move a rock and out he popped, wow.

I am interested to see a picture if you can snap a good one.

Here's the best shot I could come up with given his shyness to the camera and not being in the tank 24 hours.....doesn't do him an ounce of justice but you get the hint. He's about 4-5" long.
