The **Fathead Sunburst Anthias** is among the most beautiful anthias species, showcasing vibrant pink bodies with striking orange and yellow accents.

These fish are typically found in deeper waters, preferring aquariums with cooler temperatures and plenty of hiding spots. A tank with ample rock formations will make the **Fathead Sunburst Anthias** feel secure and provide excellent hiding places. Over time, they will adjust to life in a reef aquarium with bright lighting.

As a schooling fish, the **Fathead Sunburst Anthias** thrives best with one male and several females, introduced to the tank at the same time. In the absence of a male, the dominant female will transform into a male.

Being carnivorous, the **Fathead Sunburst Anthias** requires a diet rich in meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp. They will gradually accept flake food as well. A refugium abundant in copepods will further support their well-being.
