Has anyone bred Orange Anthias, Pseudanthias squamipinnis?

Anyone have success with breeding in captivity Orange Anthias, Pseudanthias squamipinnis, with a male and herd of say 4 females?

I dont know for sure, but i suspect that they have been spawned, and given the increasing success of barramundi cod (pocadot groupers), flowery cod etc for the aquaculture market i imagine they wouldnt be that hard but relatively worthless.

I suspect that if you were to breed them it wouldnt be with 5 fish, perhaps 50 is more in order, dominance seems to play a role in maintaining small groups of this fish.

Don't they need a good amount of vertical space to do their dance in?

Thank you for you input. I was just curious if that could happen as I was thinking about stock for my 125, but that would be no way big enough!
