Splendid Perch

Callanthias allporti

Rank
Species

The splendid perch is a small, deep-water fish found in rocky and coral habitats at depths typically below 100 m. Its slender body and bright coloration make it distinctive among deep-sea species, though encounters are relatively rare. Little is widely known about its behaviour in the wild, making sightings valuable for understanding deep reef ecosystems.
