This species does not fair well with extreme water currents and may hide most of the time to avoid them if they are present. Keep with passive tankmates to facilitate acclimation. Best is kept singly and without other species with similar diet. |

The Fathead Anthias (Serranocirrhitus latus) is sometimes called a Hawkfish Anthias. It belongs to the family named Serranidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Fathead Anthias is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Serranocirrhitus latus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in sizeand in general should have low (2 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places, a stable cave/sheltering ledge, and a peaceful environment.
