Princess anthias

[Devlin]

Picked up these guys today. Anyone have any tips to keep them healthy and happy?

Will need to feed anthias several times per day.

 

[ZoaCollector]

They were being fed two to three times a day. Three is preferred

 

[JOKER]

I agree. Their metabolism is very high!! I lost mine after almost 2 years because I cut back feeding!!

They also do well in higher flow.

I have high flow. I've been feeding twice a day brine and mysis. They seem to be doing fine. I have lots of pods in my tank as well. Feed eggs and blood worms twice a week as well. Live brine about every 2 weeks.

Anthias aren't really equipped to pick pods off of the rocks, they feed in the water column. Getting another feeding would help.

I'll try to manage 3. Sometimes work makes it a challenge.

I find that when I get home feeding a little every 45-60 minutes works well. It may end up being the same amount of food, but spread out for more feedings works well for anthias.
