Can someone please explain why the borbonius (blotched) anthia specifically needs a large tank size? I understand why other anthia species, need larger tanks as some can do best in groups and are active swimmers. Based on what I can find online, the borbonius typically hides in live rock and caves, so why the large tank?

I wanted to get a trio or maybe just two to try and pair in a “borbonius only” tank with liverock only and low lighting. Can two juveniles be in a smaller set up long term if it’s just them and they are cave dwellers? Thank you
