Pyronotanthias lori
Pyronotanthias lori, commonly known as Lori’s anthias, is a small anthias species closely related to P. flavoguttatus. They’ve a pink base colour which is covered in faint tiny golden spots. On their back they’ve large washed out red spots which get smaller towards the head and the most characteristic feature is the horizonal red patch just before the caudal fin. It's small size and colourful body (which is even more beautiful than most photos show) make this a very interesting addition to a reef tank.
Like all anthias, it's an active fish, which is best kept in a group/school of at least 4-6 fishes. 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 definitely 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!
Formerly known as Pseudanthias lori!
