The Squarespot Anthias is also known as the Purple Blotch Basslet, Squareblock, Square, or Mirror Anthias. The body of the female is predominantly yellow with a lavender belly, and often a thin blue line extending from nose to pectoral fin. Males are predominantly pink with a lavender belly and have a lighter rectangular shape on the side. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphrodites. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place. The diet should consist of zooplankton and algae as well as fresh or frozen meaty preparations. Flake foods may also be offered and accepted in a variety.
