DESCRIPTION:

 

The Borbonius (Blotchy) Anthias (Odontanthias borbonius) is a deepwater collector fish prized for its striking mottled pattern of pale pink, orange, and yellow. Exceptionally rare and visually captivating, this anthias brings unique color and motion to high-end reef aquariums.

Highlights:

  • HABITAT & BEHAVIOR: Native to deep reef zones, ideally housed in a cooler tank (72–78 °F) with shaded caves and overhangs to mimic natural refuge.

  • FEEDING: High-metabolism planktivore—requires hardy feedings of enriched mysis, brine shrimp, and meaty preparations. Refugium-grown copepods help maintain vibrant coloration.

  • TANK REQUIREMENTS: Minimum 100–125 gallons, with plenty of open swimming space and rockwork for hiding zones.

  • WATER QUALITY: Sensitive deepwater species needs pristine, well-oxygenated conditions, moderate flow, and stable parameters.

  • SOCIAL DYNAMICS: Often solitary or in small groups; can be territorial with others best kept singly or introduced carefully

This is a high-value, collector-grade anthias that rewards dedicated aquarists with rare coloration and exclusive appeal.
