Evansi Anthias

Evansi Anthias (Pseudanthias evansi)

The Evansi Anthias combines a purple-pink body with a vivid yellow back and tail. Also known as the Yellowtail Anthias and currently classified as Mirolabrichthys evansi, this graceful marine fish brings colour and movement to an established reef aquarium.

Aquarium care

Best suited to experienced aquarists, Evansi Anthias need peaceful companions, excellent water quality, open swimming space and sheltered rockwork. They are reef safe, but settling them and maintaining consistent feeding can be challenging.

Feeding

Provide several small feeds throughout the day using appropriately sized plankton foods. Live foods may be needed initially before fish accept frozen preparations. A reliable feeding routine and close attention to body condition are essential.

Choose Small, Medium or Large. Contact EasternMarine Aquariums in Auckland for help choosing a suitable fish for your aquarium.

We take livestock seriously. That's why we don't sell anything we wouldn't be comfortable putting in our own tank.

As we are direct from source, we import and sell direct to the public. This means you can buy with confidence knowing EMA prides itself on excellent handling and conditioning protocols.

Fish

All our fish held in a quarantine system for a minimum of 3 weeks. During this time, regular water changes are performed, and twice daily (or sometimes more) feedings are performed.

Copper is dosed and checked twice a day for ich and velvet.

During this treatment fish are given formalin baths for brooklynella and a minimum of 3 praziquantel doses is performed for flukes.

Coral

Our coral is quarantined for a minimum of 3 weeks, just like fish. During this time, regular water changes are performed, water testing done, and once a month a Fauna Marin ICP Total is performed.

Corals are inspected for pests/general health and are provided with a pest dip once a week for at least 3 weeks.

If we see signs of pests, the quarantine period is extended and/or additional dips are performed

If coral is bleached/unhealthy, it will remain in quarantine until healthy enough to sell.
