Ok no prob, im reading most anthias are semi aggresive and 1 only per tank under 120 gal. I wanna call the store n get em to hold it, whatever it is.. I want this fish bad hahha. Bring some more color in, and replace me royal gramma i lost due to my clown fish bringing brooklynella in my tank a while back.
