Well after weeks of searching for a healthy fathead sunburst anthia I finally found one yesterday. No signs of heavy breathing, spots, bumps, abrasions or white stringy poop. So I snatched him up and placed him in a 10 gallon quarantine tank.

Currently not running any meds. I'm slowing dropping the salinity down to 1.009 to treat for ick if he indeed has some. I'm very well aware of some strands that are resistant to hypo. He's eating well, brine shrimp 3 times a day. Very shy. He spends his time laying upright on the bottom of the tank as seen in the pic. So far so good.

I've done my research on them but haven't found much info on how well they socialize with other fish.
I currently have a 90 gallon DT with the following fish and don't foreseen any aggression/compatibility issues with him being added. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Small blue tang (don't worry, he'll be making his way out of here and to a bigger tank when it's time)
Potters Angelfish
(2) Maroon Clownfish
(3) Blue Green Chromis
Yellow watchman goby with pistol shrimp
(2) cleaner shrimp.

They are a shy fish that like to hang out in the rockwork.

There shouldn't be much of a compatibility issue.
