  • Originally: any of several small, brightly-coloured serranid fishes found in the Mediterranean and referred to by classical authors; especially the swallowtail sea perch, Anthias anthias. In later use: any of numerous small serranid fishes of the subfamily Anthiinae, many of which swarm on coral reefs, are brightly coloured, and are popular with aquarists.
