When these species are available, they command a hefty price because there is much work and danger associated with collecting fish at the depths at which they occur (i.e., typically deeper than 200 feet of water). The lovely Blotchy Deep Anthias (\u003cem\u003eHolanthias borbonius\u003c\/em\u003e) is one such member of the deepwater Anthinne guild. It has become more readily available to hobbyists of late. It is a hardy aquarium species, but be aware that while juveniles are usually quite congenial, adults will quarrel with one another.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom \u003cem\u003eKeeping the Jewels of the Reef: The Anthias of the Genus Pseudanthias-Part 5 Popular Anthias for the Home Aquarium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Live Aquaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49208757190899,"sku":null,"price":489.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/Blothed_ANthias.png?v=1780705556"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/collections\/th_80555_Bartletts_Anthias.jpg?v=1774030334","url":"https:\/\/www.liveaquaria.com\/collections\/anthias-fish.oembed?page=3","provider":"LiveAquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
