Anthiasb

[Southern Fishing Co.]

I have a 125gal mixed reef tank. Current fish are- 2 clowns, 1 damsel, 1 wrasse, 1 lawnmower blenny, 5 blue/green chromis, 1 sailfin tang, 1 yellow tang and 1 tonimi tang

I'm wanting to add some starburst Anthias and I'm trying to figure out how many I should get. I was thinking just 1 or 2 but I'm wondering if I should get 3 and should I get them as 3 females n let one transition or should I get 1male and 1 or 2 females? Thanks for the advice in advance.

In this size tank i’d just get one single Anthias. If you’re intent on more then get 3 to disperse aggression.

I’ve heard from reefers to get more then what you want with anthias. And in my experience I wanted two, I got two females and one killed the other on the 2nd or 3rd day. 120g 4x2x2. Next time if I want two I’ll get 3 or 4 just in case they don’t get along again.
