How to go about adding a Lyretail Hogfish to a tank with a tyrant Anthias.

[ToastPuppy]

At my workplace there is a large Creole Anthias who lives in isolation in an 180 gallon tank for being too much of a tyrant to its tankmates. The tank it was moved from was an 210-220 gallon reef tank, with a large sailfin, a foxface that it would bully, a sailfin blenny, and a sixline wrasse. People have started talking about turning the Anthias’ tank into a FOWLR tank, and I was thinking a good addition would be a lyretail hogfish. However, I’m worried if I add a small one the Anthias will maul him and if I add a fully grown one he’ll gut the Anthias. How should I approach this?

Sounds like a beast! I’d try an acclimation box and see how it goes.
