Male Truncatus Anthias are generally larger and display more vibrant colors, with a bright yellow tail. Females are smaller and have a more subdued coloration.

Truncatus Anthias are known to spawn in harems consisting of one male and several females. Breeding in captivity is difficult and requires specific water conditions, a balanced diet, and a peaceful environment.

Truncatus Anthias can be susceptible to various fish diseases, including parasitic infections, bacterial infections, and fungal infections. It is important to monitor the water quality and maintain a clean environment to prevent these diseases from occurring.

Truncatus Anthias are found in the Western Pacific Ocean, specifically in the waters surrounding Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

Truncatus Anthias are generally not considered to be harmful to humans. However, they are susceptible to stress and should be handled with care during transport and acclimation to a new aquarium.

When introducing Truncatus Anthias to a new aquarium, it is important to acclimate them slowly to prevent stress and shock. The drip acclimation method is recommended, which involves slowly introducing water from the aquarium into the bag containing the fish over a period of several hours.
