The Purple Queen Anthias (\u003cem\u003ePseudanthias tuka\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the most visually striking species available in the hobby — a deep-water gem draped in vivid violet-purple with a yellow dorsal stripe that cuts through the color like a neon sign. Collected from Indo-Pacific reefs and not commonly seen in this quality or size, this is the kind of addition that stops guests mid-sentence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt medium size (roughly 2–3 inches), this specimen is past its most delicate stage and ready to settle confidently into a well-established reef tank. Purple Queens are active, open-water swimmers that thrive in groups, spending most of their time mid-column and bringing constant motion to your saltwater aquarium. They reward experienced aquarists with bold personality and a dazzling display — especially under blue-spectrum reef lighting that makes their purple tones absolutely ignite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple Queen Anthias\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium (approx. 2–3 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; thrives in harems with one dominant male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore — mysis shrimp, copepods, and enriched frozen foods; benefits from multiple small feedings per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 72–78°F | Salinity 1.020–1.025 | pH 8.1–8.4 | dKH 8–12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Purple Queen Anthias we ship has been ethically sourced, professionally quarantined, and carefully conditioned in our Miami facility — and critically, confirmed eating frozen foods before it ever leaves our care.
