The Hawaiian longfin anthias (Pseudanthias hawaiiensis) is a small colorful species of fish in the subfamily Anthiinae. It is often treated as a subspecies of P. ventralis,^[1] but some authorities prefer to treat them as separate species.^[2] It is endemic to reefs at depths of 26–219 m (85–719 ft) in Hawaii and the Johnston Atoll.^[2]

It reaches 10 cm (3.9 in) in length and is bright yellow, orange, red and purple.^[2] It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade, but it is a difficult species to maintain.
