Keeping Purple Anthias in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other non-aggressive reef-safe fish. Best kept in groups of one male and multiple females. Avoid housing with aggressive or much larger fish that may outcompete them for food or harass them.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and perching. Strong water flow is essential, mimicking their natural habitat. They are planktivores and require multiple small feedings throughout the day to maintain health and coloration. A tight-fitting lid is necessary as they are known jumpers.
