I Have a 30 Gallon LPS and Soft Coral Aquarium. My Question To All of you is this... I currently have 3 Blue/green chromis, melanarus wrasse, red head Solon fairy wrasse and a mystery wrasse. I really enjoy anthias and ecpesially lyre tail, I wanted to add 2 females and a male. Could this work in my size tank, or would you suggest another type of anthias?
 
Anthias need a lot of open room to swim in. I believe you would be pushing one in your tank much less a trio. They also need to be fed 3x a day to keep them healthy. JMO I don't know of any Anthias that would do well with your setup. Sorry, better to find out now instead after you've spent the money and get attached to them.:(
 
Thanks for letting me know ahead of time! Think I'll spend the money on a scoly or brain...Also Would You go with hydras or radions? And if so how many of them would I need for my tank?
