Description: Sunburst Anthias, also known as Fathead or Hawkfish Anthias, have a gorgeous pink and purple color as males, and a peach color as females. Anthias are fast moving active fish, so they need to be fed food that is high in fat and protein, two to three times per day. Fish eggs, Mysis, and Arctic pods are all great foods for these fish. This fish will appreciate plenty of rock work to be able to hide when needed.
