Could i get one for my 66 reef??

I have them in my tank. IMO they adapt better than the other anthias. I have 2 females and one male.

How big is the tank you have it in? Do i need more then one?

They are best kept at least in groups and at least three. I have a 125 gallon reef.

I would not recommend one. They need to be in groups.

Bummer. I understand though. They also had a thompsons anthias.,and a purple anthias. Maybe one of those?

Anthias need to be kept in groups. They are easily stressed when kept alone and will not thrive in the long term. Please reconsider.
