Stocky anthias Profile

Pseudanthias hypselosoma

ℹ️ Overview

The Stocky anthias (Pseudanthias hypselosoma) is a brightly colored reef fish, primarily exhibiting shades of pink, with males featuring more pronounced colors and a distinct elongated third ray in the dorsal fin. Originating from the Western Pacific Ocean including areas like the Philippines and northern Australia, it has a preference for coral-rich environments. Distinctively, the fish displays a sleek, somewhat elongated body shape, contributing to its elegant appearance. Despite its striking appearance, the Stocky anthias is not as well-known or popular in the aquarium hobby compared to other members of its genus, possibly due to its specific care requirements and less frequent availability.
