Rose Anthias (Odontanthias katayami) bred by Surge Marinelife for the first time |
This was the story that made me want to make this thread since no one really saw this coming. Rose Anthias are a very rare species from the deepwaters of Japan. There are only 2 places in the world that exhibit them (Okinawa-Churami Aquarium and Steinhart Aquarium) and only a handful in private hands. Often going for $20,000 USD. With this achievement, we may see more in public aquariums at least in the near future. Surge Marinelife is based in Florida and were also the first to produce the "Scopas x Purple" Tang hybrids last year.
