Pseudanthias hawaiiensis
Pseudanthias hawaiiensis, the Hawaiian longfin anthias, is a small colorful species of fish in the subfamily Anthiinae. It is often treated as a subspecies of P. ventralis,[2] but some authorities prefer to treat them as separate species.[3] It is endemic to reefs at depths of 26–219 m (85–719 ft) in Hawaii and the Johnston Atoll.[3]
