Thinking about adding 10 or so anthias to the tank, any reason this would be a bad idea? Lyretail ones probably.

Current stock - blue hippo, sailfin, yellow, and tomini tangs, randall's goby, starry blenny, and 3 ocelaris/maroon mix clownfish.

Main reason for the new additions is increase in the movement in the tank.

Thanks.

I dont see an issue with it, other then the large bioload change (plan accordingly) but I love my trio.

Random algae on my rocks is ready to take up all the extra bio load ;D

Not a bad idea! You just have to feed them more, some recommend 4-6x/day.

Fish poop is the best food for corals IMO as long as your skimmer can handle the heavy bioload!

Wow. I love the photo. I agree that the video is off, but it shouldn't. I wonder what is going on.

Fantastic tank man. Kudos to you. I so want to see how this looks in the next 2 years. That tank will be slammed with coral. I do have a few suggestions from lessons learned. Keep the branching corals up top and try to isolate the encrusting ones. They will kill everything they touch and take over a branching.
