Adding ignitus anthias last?

[Daniel Waters]

I was contemplating adding some ignitus anthias into my tank. I've had ignitus in the past but always introduced them first, as i know they can be somewhat timid and do best with multiple feedings. My concern is that I have an established purple tang that I've afraid may not take kindly to new additions to the tank. But, then again, the purple may completely ignore them. No other livestock should pose an issue. It's a lightly stocked 6 foot tank, so I have plenty of room and hiding spots.

Anyone have any experiences adding anthias last or adding them with a zebrasoma tang and can share his / her feedback?

In most cases anthias will be ignored by a tang. That being said there are always exceptions.
