anthias
Jason/Jaws:
I am having the same trouble with my anthias. I bought 9. Feed them three times a day and everything was great, so I thought, for about two weeks. I then found one dead on the bottom of the tank. Shortly thereafter they started to go missing until I had about 4 left. Miraculously 2 more showed up again so I have 6. One eats like a pig and the others seem disinterested in food. Their colours are a bit lighter than when I bought them. I too need some suggestions. Justus

Mine eats mostly PE mysis and NLS pellets & the dominant male is gorgeous.
Loss of colour may be also due to stress if the subordinate fish are being picked on or intimidated by the dominant fish. Anthony

From what I've read on them, loss of color is due to bright light usually. They prefer dim light, so anything above flourescents usually dims them. It is not a sign of illness on its own, but if they're not eating, that is a sign of illness.
