A stunning male Lyretail Anthias displaying the species' signature brilliant coloration—vibrant blood-orange body with electric blue-eye markings. This Grade A specimen from the Maldives exemplifies the natural beauty of Pseudanthias squamipinnis males. Currently 2.5 inches, it will mature to approximately 6 inches, making it ideal for established reef systems.
Semi-aggressive temperament requires careful tank mate selection and adequate swimming space. Intermediate care level suits experienced aquarists who can provide stable water conditions and varied, high-quality nutrition.
Minimum 70-gallon tank recommended. Reef-compatible with small fish and invertebrates, though may prey on diminutive crustaceans. Thrives in well-lit aquariums with moderate to strong water flow and plenty of rockwork for refuge and territorial establishment.
