ignitus anthia question

While i've seen from reading that no anthia is really all that easy to keep, would the ignitus be my best choice to start out with? I like that they stay relatively small and their colors. Also, they will be going in a 90 gallon (or possibly a 110 gallon, i'll find out later this weekend), can i keep three of them in this size tank?
 
Ignitus isn't all that difficult to keep. What makes most anthias difficult is that they like to eat multiple times throughout the day. If you can provide this they are really quite hardy.

I would prefer to see a group of 5 or more, as they develop a social hierarchy, so more fish equals more dispersion of aggression. You will also see more interesting behavior with the male's interaction with his harem. Anthias also have "the more, the merrier mentality" in that they feel more secure the larger the group.
 
How many of these would be safe in a 105 gallon? There will be a few other types of fish in there, mostly non aggressive, there will be one tang though and right now I have a purple dotty back.
