Anthias & Chromis
Schooling colour and movement
Planktivorous schooling fish that add mid-water colour and movement to larger reef tanks. Anthias are demanding feeders requiring multiple small meals per day, while chromis are more forgiving. Both groups are best kept in groups and benefit from strong flow and high oxygen levels.
