Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on Ventralis Anthias'? I have read a lot about them......difficult, colder water temps, low light, peaceful tank mates, and overhangs for them to hide. My LFS has had 2 females and 1 male for 2 months now and I think I am going to pull the trigger and buy them up. They don't hide in the rock work, the tank temp is around 77-78, and they have them eating frozen brine and mysis. They are unbelievable! BUT I have heard how hard they are. Any suggestions or comments?

if your LFS has had them for 2 months, they're eating mysis and brine and are in temps 77-78 PULL IT NOW! they've already passed the "stage of worry".
