Odontanthias

Odontanthias is a genus of marine ray-finned fish in the subfamily Anthiinae and family Serranidae. Depending on the exact species, they reach up to 10–22 cm (3.9–8.7 in) in standard length, and are brightly marked with pink and yellow. They are found at rocky reefs in deep water, mainly below 100 m (330 ft).[2][3][4] The genus is almost entirely restricted to the Indo-Pacific; O. cauoh of the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago and O. hensleyi of the Caribbean are the only species known from outside the Indo-Pacific[3][5] and evidence indicates that the latter belongs in Anthias.[6]

gollark: This is definitely a somewhat stupid virus.
gollark: It adds hooks into `load`.
gollark: pjals, please send me a code sample so I can add it to the filtering list.
gollark: Well, potatOS has virus protection integrated.
gollark: If you send me code samples, I'll add it to the PotatOS Code Safety Checker so it won't run.
