Dispar Anthias (Madder Seaperch) (Mirolabrichthys Dispar)

The Princess Anthias (Pseudanthias smithvanizi) is a species of marine fish in the family Serranidae, native to the Western Indian Ocean. They are popular in the aquarium trade due to their bright coloration and active swimming behavior. In the wild, they are found in coral reefs at depths of 30-60 meters, but in captivity they can be kept in shallower aquariums with good water quality and ample hiding places. They are known to be a bit more sensitive than some other species of anthias, so proper acclimation and a well-established tank is important for their success.
