Anyone have Pseudanthias Marcia / Reticulated Anthias?

Just curious if anyone has any first hand experience with these anthias? They're sporadically imported, but I've never really seen any first hand experiences with them posted on here except for "my new fish" posts.

Based on morphology, I'd guess they're probably similar to Stocky Anthias (P. hypselosoma), or Red Bars (rubrizonatus) in terms of attitude?

I've had a trio before. The male got a little aggressive with the females. I don't recall them bothering any other anthias I had at the time.

I had 5 at one point in my 95G....They never bothered other fish, just other anthias. They were about the same as Bartletts id say aggression-wise. Beautiful fish! Mine use to do the mating Dance every night! They used to eat everything Id put in the tank including spectrum pellets. I have pictures somewhere Just can't find them at the moment. They were coming in with Sri-Lanka shipments about 6-7 years ago and local stores here in SOFL were selling them for 15-20$ each! last time I saw them on the Divers Den a trio was 150....
