🐠 Dispar Anthias (Pseudanthias dispar)
A Vivid Red-Orange and Yellow Display Fish • An Active Open-Water Shoaler • Grows Hardier and Bolder Once Settled
 
📋 The Dispar Anthias, also known as the Redfin, Peach, or Madder Seaperch Anthias, shows striking differences between the sexes: males display a vivid orange-red body with a bright red dorsal fin, while females are yellowish-orange on top fading to a pale lavender-white underside.
It comes from shallow, current-swept reef faces and drop-offs across the Indo-Pacific, from Christmas Island to the Line Islands, south to the Great Barrier Reef and Fiji, where it shoals in large numbers, constantly swimming through the water column for zooplankton. Every Dispar Anthias we ship is feeding well, and it becomes noticeably bolder and more confident as it settles into your tank.
It's fully reef safe and won't harm corals or invertebrates. Keep it as a mated pair, a small group of females, or a proper harem of one male with several females in odd numbers, since two males together leads to real aggression. It's a known jumper, so use a secure lid. It reaches up to 9.5cm, so plan on at least 280L for one fish, and 470L or more for a harem.
