This is a nice reef fish. It cannot be housed with aggressive tank mates. Very hard to get acclimated. |

The Purple Queen Anthias (Pseudanthias pascalus) is sometimes called an Amethyst Anthias or a Sailfin Anthias. It belongs to the family named Serranidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.0 inches in length, the Purple Queen Anthias is generally passive in nature and sensitive 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 across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudanthias pascalus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 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 and keep 3 or more.
