The Ignitus Anthias is renowned for its breathtaking beauty among anthias species. With a vibrant orange body accented by yellow and red hues, it's often called the Flame Anthias. These fish grow to about 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. If housing multiple Ignitus Anthias, increase the tank size by at least 50 gallons. All Ignitus Anthias start as females, and in the absence of a male, the dominant female will transform into a male, showcasing more vivid colors. They thrive in groups of up to twelve.

These peaceful fish coexist well with other marine life, making them ideal for both FOWLR and reef aquariums. Avoid pairing them with aggressive large fish that might pose a threat. As carnivores, Ignitus Anthias require a diet rich in meaty foods, such as mysis and brine shrimp, frozen foods, and high-quality pellets and flakes. They benefit from being fed smaller meals multiple times daily.
