Tosanoides flavofasciatus
Notes:
What an honor it's been to have these guys in house at Marine Collectors. Mostly seen in markets over seas, primarily Japan, we were lucky enough to out bid the competitors in Asia and bring these individuals to the states!! These Anthias have been with us since September of 2021 and were procured as small females of about 2-3cm in length. Since then they have more than doubled in size, and the group now has a dominant male that transitioned over from a female. These fish have been under the personal care of Marine Collectors Owner Elliot Lim and have been part of his deepwater collection for over a year. These young fish have a ton of life left in them and will be truly appreciated by a collector for years to come.
