Marc,
The male Anthias you have pictured truly captures the vibrant coloration these specimens have.
You may want to try soaking the frozen foods you are offering in a vitamin supplement and a broad-spectrum antibiotic during the healing time. Using
Selcon and
Tetracycline will help to boost the immune system of the fish and ensure the Anthias has the best health for the healing process.
If you have further questions please feel free to contact us.
