You are flowers on the seabed. Even your Japanese names have 'flowers' in them. Lovely!

Fishtober Day 27 - Purple Queen Anthias

Check out the creator! ^ [@/fishiscrazy] 🐟

Purple Queen Anthias are commonly kept in fish tanks. It's recommended that they're kept in a ratio of 1:2 males to females and in larger tanks, 2:6. They're very delicate fish and shouldn't be kept in tanks under 180 gallons [680 litres] as they fair best in groups.

Whilst they mainly eat zooplankton, they can also eat meat [and other frozen foods] and as deepwater fish they dislike light. Also, they're very friendly towards other fish!

I've done Anthias before! I was like Teri! Teri I want to try and do orange and pink together. So I did!

The two-spotted ground beetle, Anthia thoracica

These fearsome, extremely fast and active hunters are native to Africa where they run down prey. When they find themselves on the defensive, they can shoot a strong jet of acid from their pygidial gland. They are thus called “oogpister” – meaning "eye pisser."

False Clown Anemonefish - Manoa Lai Main

Endless Ocean, Nintendo Wii

something fun about eo1 that the game doesn't explain to you: the different anemone species seen in zooms actually have distinctly programmed symbiotic relationships! here they are below:

in reading order, these are each anemone, their specified species internally, and their symbionts!

rare anemone (Halcurias carlgreni): stocky anthias

giant carpet anemone (Stichodactyla gigantea): false clown anemonefish

bubble tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor): tomato clownfish

bulb-tentacle sea anemone (Entacmaea ramsayi): yellowtail clownfish, orange skunk clownfish, juvenile threespot dascyllus

there's also one bonus anemone, with no symbiont, that can only be found in ship's rest! the tube anemone (Cerianthus filiformis), just kinda goofing around:

Every fish tank should have an Anthias… and every home should have a fish tank!
