The Dispar Anthias is also known as the Redfin Anthias, Peach Anthias, and the Madder Seaperch.

The Dispar Anthias has an orange to lavender body.

The dorsal fin is a brighter red on males than the females.

This is an open water swimmer that does great in groups.

You can expect to see them throughout the day swimming in the main water column of the aquarium.

Males do best when kept in groups with several females.

May become aggressive towards other anthias.

The Dispar Anthias appreciate a high flow environment.

In the wild, they are found swimming in the strong currents over the reef feeding on plankton.

Diet:

Anthias are planktivores and feed primarily on zooplankton, tiny animals found in the water column.

They benefit from several small feedings throughout the day rather than one large feeding.

A healthy microinvertebrate population in the aquarium with a constant supply of food items like copepods and amphipods is beneficial but most anthias can be weaned onto frozen and prepared zooplanktons, Cyclop-eeze, mysis shrimp, baby brine shrimp and similar items.

Minimum Tank Size:

75 gallon tank will suffice for one fish, however, if keeping a group, a 125 gallon tank should be used since Anthias appreciate plenty of room to swim.

Reef Aquarium Compatibility: Great for a reef aquarium!
