This fish is a carnivore and can be kept in a group. If adding more than one, all should be introduced at the same time. Because of their small size, they do not pose a threat to other fish and make wonderful reef inhabitants. A typical meal for an Dispar Anthias is comprised of zooplankton and small animals such as brine shrimp and copepods. In the wild, Anthias form large schooling groups on the reefs. A single male may claim part of the reef as his and fight off other males that try to invade. The Dispar Anthias prefers moderate lighting.Provide clean, well-oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space. Also known as: Redfin Anthias, Peach Anthias
