Luzonichthys taeniatus

Luzonichthys taeniatus, commonly known as the Striped splitfin, is one of the smallest anthias species, which like the name suggests has stripes on his body. Due to his small adult size, it's a perfect Anthias for those who want a colorful schooling fish, but don't have the space to house one of the larger species. It's not imported on a regular basis, which makes this fish even more desired. When buying a school you don't need to worry about sex ratios because these fish are hermaphroditic. This means the most dominant fish will automatically turn into the male when there is no other male around.

Keeping this fish in larger numbers will definetely make it shine. Do make sure they can eat multiple times a day though, because in nature they feed on zooplankton the entire day, and are not build for one meal a day!
