There was a Squareback Female Anthias
With colors that put on quite a show for us
She's from the Indo-Pacific
And her scales are quite fantastic
In groups, she'll swim like a school of fuss
With her pink and purple hues so bright
She'll catch your eye in broad daylight
At night, her colors will fade
But she'll still be a sight to be made
Pseudanthias pleurotaenia, what a delight!
