Pseudanthias hawaiiensis, commonly known as the Hawaiian longfin anthias, is a small, colorful species of fish that belongs to the subfamily Anthiinae. It is often considered a subspecies of P. ventralis, but some experts prefer to treat them as separate species.

Description
The species has a maximum length of 10 cm (3.9 in) and is known for its bright yellow, orange, red, and purple colors (Froese and Pauly 2021). The Hawaiian longfin anthias is a sequential hermaphrodite, meaning that it starts its life as a female and later changes sex to become a male (Randall and Earle 2006) .'''? where's that reference?'''

The species feeds primarily on zooplankton and small benthic invertebrates (Froese and Pauly 2021). It has been observed that Hawaiian longfin anthias are highly social fish and form large, mixed-sex groups (Randall and Earle 2006 looks like your actual reference and your linked reference is not the same?). Pseudanthias hawaiiensis (Hawaiian Longfin Anthias) is a species of ray-finned fishes in the family sea basses. Individuals can grow to 7.7 cm. They have sexual reproduction.

Distribution and Habitat
The Hawaiian longfin anthias is endemic to reefs in Hawaii and Johnston Atoll, where it inhabits depths ranging from 26 to 219 meters (85 to 719 feet) (Froese and Pauly 2021).  Natural Environment:  This species inhabits caves and overhangs and often-found swimming upside down in depths between 85 to 200 feet (27 – 60 m) where it feeds on zooplankton.

Human Use
Although the species is occasionally found in the aquarium trade, it is considered difficult to maintain and is not widely available (Froese and Pauly 2021). In addition, the Hawaiian longfin anthias is not listed as endangered or threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (Froese and Pauly 2021).
