The Red Fairy Anthias is also referred to as the Cooper's Anthias and the Red Fairy Basslet. A well developed lateral red bar and a red caudal fin differentiate the male from a female which only has red tips on the caudal fin and a pinkish-orange body color. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. 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.
