Description

The Bimaculatus Anthias is also known as a Scribbled Anthias, Twospot Anthias or Twinspot Anthias. The males have one or two spots on their dorsal fin, with a pink head that fades to a vibrant red extending to the tail. Irregular pink bars run horizontally along the body. The females of the species are pink with a yellow dorsal, anal and caudal fin. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place.

The Scribbled Anthias or Twospot Anthias Fish does best when kept with its own species in a tank of at least 125 gallons. These unique Anthias are beautiful fish for the fish only, invertebrate, or reef aquarium. Scribbled Anthias or Twospot Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day.
