So if you could what anthias would you get in your tank. I have a 210 with 2 tangs, 3 wrasses, 2 gobies and a blennie.

i would like to get 10 + of them. Any experience with them would be helpful. Survival rate?

Diadem or sunset anthias. They look like this.
A shot of my small group.

I have lyretails and am very pleased with them. 1 male with a harem of 4 females, they are quite belligerent with each other, well the females anyway. The male keeps them all in check. I almost went with Bartletts but they only had 3 when I got them so I passed. The Ignitus is becoming more available as well but still a little pricey.


hmm those diadem are nice. Bartletts are cool.

any thoughts on Lyretail
