My Anthias has been hanging out in my tree coral from time to time throughout the day. Almost like it's his bed to take a nap. Is this normal? Other than that he swims around a lot and eats plenty.

I've often seen anthias tuck themselves away for a few moments rest; in a crevice, on the sandbed - in a Kenya tree doesn't surprise me too much.

I've only begun to keep anthias though, so take my comments with a grain of Instant Ocean . . .

Pretty normal. It's his retreat should a startling situation arise. He goes back to it throughout the day to make sure it will still work.
