Lookin for some Anthias, need some advice.

I would like to add a pair or trio of Anthias to my tank. Very friendly communal tank....Pretty much a FOWLR, with the exception of a few Nems. What kind do you guys suggest? Anyone have some for sale???

anthias need a lot of rock with shelves and you need to create it just like the clif or very edge of the reef.
I saw you have the FOWLR. are there any aggressive such as flame hawfish, or wrasses? some wrasses like flasher wrasse do beat up those anthias.

NYAQUATIC or saltwater has them onsale now. of course you can ask our support vendor such as red sand or AO.

What size tank do you have and what are you current inhabitants?

Some common types usually found in local stores are: Bartlett's, Lyretail and Sunburst Anthias.

Aquatic Obsession always has a few types when I go there. AO has a nice Bimaculatus Anthias I was looking at, but they just have one and my 65 still isn't set up yet.
