I have a reefer 170 with a pair of ocellaris and a sunburst anthias (Serranocirrhitus latus). The female clown is kind of a bully but does not bother the anthias. The anthias is very bold, eats aggressively and will even chase the male clown a little.

I tried to add a fang blend and the female clown chased it relentlessly.

I am thinking of a trio of captive bred azure damsels. I am concerned for obvious reasons (tank size, tank mates).

Your thoughts please!

Likely the clown and azures will not play well. Yes, tank size has some to do with it.

You think so? I know they are related but look so different. I was more concerned about the azures and the anthias.

Azures are pretty mellow, but they do stake out a territory. 34 gallons is probably OK, but not definitely.
