How to catch Pink Square Anthias

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

The colorful pink square anthias are, in a broader sense, a type of grouper. In some regions, they are more likely to be eaten than kept as ornamental fish.

Interestingly, they used to belong to the genus Anthias, meaning "fish," before being moved under the genus Pseudanthias, meaning "false fish."
