I just got these Wednesday evening from Edward (EdAquatics). They are super active and not like any other Squareback Anthias I have kept in the past which were very timid and shy. The male eats like a champ but I haven't seen the female eat yet...she scatters to the caves and I think she's getting some but I'm not sure.

Looks good Rob. I've always liked Anthias but never had a chance to get some, but hopefully Ed will get me some bicolor Anthias.

Thanks Kevin...the male is absolutely beautiful, he has some really nice markings and intense color, more so than any of the other males I have had in the past.

Post some pics when you get the sunburst.
