Pseudanthias
hawaiiensis
Randall,
1979
|
| Common Name: Hawaiian Longfin
Anthias Distribution: Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands |
| Remarks: Found most frequently in deeper waters around the Hawaiian Islands, this fish impresses the observer with its delicate long pelvic and anal fins streaming from under its body. The bright colors are not apparent at depth, but sparkle when illuminated with a dive light. Males are somewhat more colorful and larger than females, and males generally maintain large harems of females. |
