Anthias is a genus of colourful fishes in the subfamily Anthiadinae. 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.[2] They typically occur in groups that feed on zooplankton.
