see text Anthias is a genus of colourful ray-finned fishes in the family Anthiadidae.

Most species are found at deep reefs in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic, often well below depths reachable to a scuba diver.

A single species, A. noeli, is found at deep reefs in the East Pacific.

[2] They are red, pink, orange, or yellow, and the largest species reach 29 cm (11 in) in length.

In the past, this genus included far more species, but these have now been moved to other genera, for example Callanthias, Odontanthias, and Pseudanthias.
