My wife wanted one and i found one at FA. Ive heard they dont do so well in captivity. What does everyone here think? Any experiance? Tips? Anything helps she really loves this fish and i really want to try to keep it alive. He/She already eats mysis and spirlina brine. Ive offered VHP frozen formula 1 and 2,prime reef frozen and flake but it really loves mysis soaked in garlic. Any info helps if not thanks for readin this at least ill try to get pics in a little but my digi is so old it has a walker.

I miss that fish!!! We had him for a few months. Eating really good and everything. I believe they are easier to keep than other anthias. I would build him a little cliff/overhang. He'd like that.

Subursts are a deep water anthias that like strong current, low light, and plenty of hiding places. They often die in captivity because they refuse to eat or slowly starve as they are not fed enough.

My advice would be to give him plenty of shade and feed 4-5 times daily in small portions.
