Plectranthias is a genus of rather small serranid fishes with large mouths and eyes close together. They are typically mainly red, orange or pearl in color. Few species exceed 10 cm (3.9 in) in length, and none exceed 25 cm (9.8 in).[1]
The vast majority of the species are found at reefs at depths below 50 m (160 ft) in the Indo-Pacific, ranging as far south as New Zealand and South Africa, and as far north as Japan. A few species are found at shallower depths, and a few are found in the southeast Pacific off South America. A single species, P. garrupellus is found at deep reefs in the Caribbean. They are predators that feed on small crustaceans and fishes.[1]
