Randalls or Dispar Anthias??

[Opes]

I am considering a group of anthias for my reef. Hoping for a male and several females.

I have a 72"Lx24"Wx16" tall shallow reef. The tank is fairly high flow.

Current Fish List:
Tomini Tang
Yellow Tang
Blue Tang
Snow Flake Clown
Ornate Leopard Wrasse
Pin Tail Wrasse
Talbot Damsel
Pink Spot Watchman

I have had all of these fish for quite some time. I plan to quarantine any new fish in a 20 gallon quarantine.

Given my fish list and tank size what would you recommend a group of Randalls or Dispar? I have always wanted Anthias but have never pulled the trigger. I feed heavily so that shouldn't be too much of a concern. I am more worried about which group will pair better with the tank size and tank mates.

I like the lyretails myself.

From what I have read they are a little more aggressive and get bigger than the ones I am more interested in. Thoughts?

I have 3 types in my tank: lyretails (2), marcia's and red fairy. The lyretails are the smallest (under 2") and the most peaceful of the three types; the marcia's is kind of the dominant and will "herd" the others. The marcia's and red fairy also swim/school with the green chromis while the lyretails kind of drift around and do their own thing.
