Marine Anthias • Reef Planktivore • Schooling Display Fish • Reef Aquarium Fish
 
📋 The Ventralis Anthias (Pseudanthias ventralis) is one of the most striking deepwater anthias species, prized for its intense magenta-purple coloration and elegant finnage.
In aquariums, it functions as a Mid-Water Planktivore, best suited for mature reef systems with stable parameters, strong oxygenation, and gentle but consistent water movement.
This species is naturally found at deeper reef slopes and does best in calmer lighting and stress-free environments.
With the correct setup, it thrives as a Premium Reef Display Fish for experienced marine aquarists.
