Wreck Fish – West Indian Ocean
Pseudanthias squamipinnis
Origin: Western Indian Ocean – Red Sea to Eastern Africa
Size: Up to 12 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on zooplankton; accepts frozen mysis, enriched brine, and marine pellets.
Care Level: Intermediate
Aggression: Peaceful – best kept in groups with one male and several females.
Captive-Bred Available: ❌ No
Notes:
This “Wreck Fish” is a regional variant of the Lyretail Anthias, Pseudanthias squamipinnis. In the wild it forms large shoals above reef structures, feeding constantly on plankton. Males are more colourful and territorial, while females are orange-yellow. Requires frequent small feedings and a mature reef system with good water quality and swimming space.
Why We Like It:
Active, colourful, and peaceful, the Wreck Fish brings constant motion and vivid orange tones to the reef display. A striking schooling species that adds life to the mid-water column.
