Pseudanthias ventralis is a small marine fish with bright coloration. It lives on coral reefs in the western Pacific Ocean and feeds on plankton.
Pseudanthias ventralis differs from related species by the very long pelvic fins in males. It is important for the reef because it eats plankton and serves as food for larger fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
