Hello all,
I plan on getting a Sunburst Anthias for my 30 gallon mixed reef tank. Can you guys give me some insight on its care requirements?

Yes 30 gallons is too small for anthias. I would highly recommend not putting it in that small of a tank. They are picky fish and I have been able to keep them but have had a battle when getting them to eat. I start with brine shrimp and try to get them to frozen food

Oh dang. I had heard that they were stationary swimmers and were the only fish that could stay in my tank. I'll have to find an alternative - thanks anyway!
