More about Squareback anthias

The Squareback anthias (Pseudanthias pleurotaenia) is a colorful reef fish, predominantly featuring shades of pink, orange, and yellow, with a distinctive square or diamond shape on its back. Originating from the Western Pacific Ocean, specifically around coral reefs, it exhibits a sleek, elongated body typical of anthias species. While it is known among aquarium enthusiasts, especially those with a focus on marine setups, it may not be as commonly recognized in the broader hobby as some other marine fish. Its care requires a good understanding of its natural environment and behaviors, catering to experienced aquarists.
