Choranthias

Choranthias is a genus of marine ray-finned fish from the grouper and sea bass family Serranidae. It was created in 2012 and the name is a compound of the Greek chora meaning "room" or "space" and anthias meaning a "seafish", a reference to the broken lateral line of this genus compared to the other genera classified within the subfamily Anthiinae.
