Yes, I have one...my no 1 fav fish. Bought it from SL about 6 months back. I resist buying one for a long long time cos they are all not feeding. Finally found mine and it ate a BS in front of me. So...die die must buy. Got a good price..about $35???

Mine eats my prepared food but will take frozen MS. However, only take small pieces. Mine was bullied my other anthias at first and its tail was totally rip off for the first weeks. Luckily, it still continued to eat. Then, it got stronger and bolder and now, goes everywhere in the tank...fearless.

I heard Henry told me Sunburst prices has sky rocket and ask if I want to sell mine. No way, if I sell my no 1 fish, might as well close tank. :lol:

Sorry, I get very excited when I talk about my sunburst. :P

Still the same pic cos very difficult to get him to pose.

You can get the red planktons (orange colour cubes) from Re****.

I think they sell the cyclop-eze as well.

CF prices are quite funny. That day, I was quoted 100 for big naso and 18 for a square anthias! Now, the sunburst only 20!

Wow, must go often and hunt for bargains! B)

Still got sunburst there or not? Went on Monday, didn't see sunburst, only lots of square.

Hey DeepBlue, nice to have met you at CF on Sunday!

I've read as well that it's very difficult to get it to feed but if/once you do, it's actually fairly hardy. Also read that it should not be kept in tanks with boisterous fish such as angels and even damsels.

Sadly :( , after not taking any food, not even cyclop-eze and brine-soaked in garlic... my sunburst pass-on today while I was at work... found it lying in a cave. 2 days ago, it did give cyclop-eze a try but only once. It was doing fine yesterday and even this morning.

In rememberence of my Sunburst Anthias... here's a pic I would like to share with everyone.
