I have a harem of lyre tail anthias and want to add a different type of anthias. Which species would get along with the lyre tail? I'm looking for anthias that are not orange (purple queen, ventralis). Anyone with experience keeping multiple species I would appreciate the input. I have a 280 gallon tank (90x30x24). Other fish I have in the tank are
Bandit Angel
Gold Flake
Interuptus Angel
Gem Tang
Blue Eye Mimic Tang/Chocolate Tang
Flame Wrasse

Thanks,
Todd /Bigkid4788
 
Ive had carberryi;s and dispars w/ them w/out issues.

Purple queens are pretty difficult to keep, have not tried ventralis yet.(they are a deepwater species that prefer colder temps and lower light)

For best results, qt and get them eating before putting in display

I have a trio of Lyretail (male is dominant), 3 Carberryi, 3 Evansi, and 2 Borbonis. All seem to get along well together.
 
I kept ignitus anthias with my lyretails with only minor issues, as the male lyretail was a bit of a punk.
