{"product_id":"pink-squareback-anthias-female","title":"Pink Squareback Anthias Female","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pink Square Anthias, *Pseudanthias pleurotaenia*, is a captivating and active addition to the reef aquarium. Males display a striking pink to reddish-purple body with a prominent, rectangular or square-shaped patch of pink or purple on their sides, while females are typically a more uniform orange-pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 70 gallons is recommended to provide ample swimming space and accommodate a small group. These fish are best kept in a harem of one male and several females. A well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and perching is ideal. They are generally considered reef-safe, but caution should be exercised with very small ornamental shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pink Square Anthias is a planktivore in the wild and requires multiple small feedings throughout the day in the aquarium. Their diet should consist of a variety of high-quality marine foods such as enriched frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty preparations. They may also accept high-quality flake and pellet foods designed for marine fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other anthias, the Pink Square Anthias is a protogynous hermaphrodite, meaning all individuals are born female and the dominant female in a group will transition into a male. Breeding in captivity is rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pseudanthias pleurotaenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075234947361,"sku":"TT-6103-S","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075234980129,"sku":"TT-6103-M","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075235012897,"sku":"TT-6103-L","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/pink-squareback-anthias-female","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
