Etymology: Xenanthias: Although Regan (1908) did not specific the allusion of Xenanthias, the name is probably the combination of ξένος (xénos, meaning strange or foreign), and anthias, possibly an indication to a strange anthias; flammeus: Name from Latin 'flammeus', meaning fiery; referring to the brilliant red and yellow diagonal streak across the lower cheek and the red-yellow-orange blotches on the body; noun in apposition.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02512 (0.00978 - 0.06451), b=2.98 (2.75 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
