Just to be clear, the species I'm talking about is Serranocirrhitus latus

So I've been heavily interested in a Sunburst Anthias for a while now, and they're one of the Less Active anthias that like to hang around the rocks. I've heard people recommend for 30g + tanks, and ReefBuilders mentions they're slow growers. Anyone have any input on temporarily housing one in my UNS 60U Macroalgae Tank (24 L X 14 W X 14 T) for around a year before I setup the upgrade which is most likely going to be in the range of 60 to 75 gallons. It would be the first fish in the tank, the only other fish in there would probably be a Basslet of some sort and a few Biota Eviota Gobies.

The place I would be getting them from sells them as Juveniles at around 1.5 to 2" , would it outgrow the tank at within the time frame from that size?
