Anthias - Which one?

[mred]

I am considering adding anthias to my reef tank. Looking at three; the Threadfin (Nemanthias carberryi), the Bartlett's (Pseudanthias bartlettorum), and the Dispar (Pseudanthias dispar). Anyone have experience with these?

The bartlett's are amazing. Even better then them look at the sun burst anthias. They are wicked; however, I'm not 100% sure if they are reef safe. If they are I would go with the sun burst.

Sunburst look good until they grow up. They get large and shape is not as attractive. Looking for something that has a reasonably good chance of acclimation and is under 4 inches, thus those three as starters. Just want to know which one would have the best chance of adjusting to tank life.

Then go Bartlett. Put them in a 300g reef display and are doing amazing.

Thanks Iceman. I have a 150g and that should do too.

I'd put maybe 3-5 in. That would be a good amount.

The bartletts also are smaller when fully grown compared to the lyretail and pink square
