Anthia female hiding

a14455 · Apr 12, 2021

I had 2 female lyretail anthias and have had them for about 3 months . one of them vanished about a month ago. They used to hang out with the Chromis when I had two. the remaining one hides all the time but comes up to eat. is this normal for them?

At times yes. Generally though when they do this, it’s intimidation by another tank occupant

yes .I have a pretty aggressive scopas tang. even though I dont see it fighting the anthia he bosses all the tangs.

This tang is mean. he is the smallest of the lot but the meanest too.
