The Huchtii Anthias is a captivating and larger species of anthias. These fish are primarily light gray with striking yellow and orange accents on their fins. A unique feature of the Huchtii Anthias is the prominent orange streak trailing behind their eyes.
Reaching up to 4 inches in length, Huchtii Anthias require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, particularly towards other anthias, but generally coexist peacefully with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums.
It's best to keep Huchtii Anthias in small groups, consisting of one male and several females, or just females. In the absence of a male, the dominant female will transform into a male. Having multiple males in the same tank can lead to aggression. These active fish are often visible throughout the day, but it's crucial to provide live rock for hiding when they feel threatened.
As carnivores, Huchtii Anthias thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods twice daily will ensure their health and vitality.
