Serranocirrhitus latus

Serranocirrhitus latus, commonly known as the Fathead anthias, is a medium-sized anthias species. They don’t have the typical anthias body shape, but look more like a cross between an anthias and damsel. In the shop they usually look quite pale pink, but once settled in your tank it will become magento with the edge of the scales lying on top of it like golden flakes. On their head they develop some stripes and scribbles.

One of the best anthias to keep in small numbers since in nature they’re often seen solitary. But they do live in small groups as well.

It’s also a lot easier feeding wise, but still we advise to feed it multiple times a day.
