Odontanthias randalliis the newest species of anthias to be described from this fantastic genus of colorful reef fish. Hailing from the southern region of Indonesia,O. randalli是从伦波克鱼市场发现的标本中描述的，这些标本被钩和线捕获的渔民捕捞，深度超过100米（330英尺）。新描述的O. randalli主要是粉红色的，每个刻度上的身体上半部都有一个黄色的斑点，粉红色的头部被几条薄的黄色线条穿越，而Lunate Caudal Fin的粉红色尺寸为粉红色的大黄色标记。
The appearance ofOdontanthias randalliis most similar toOdontanthias katayamai, a specimen of which made its way to Blue Harbor earlier this year. With the remoteness and extreme depth whereOdontanthias randallioccurs, we’re not likely to ever see this species in the aquarium trade but it’s nice to know that wherever researchers look at deep reef environments they often find new and exciting unknown reef fish.
