Mixing Anthias in a reef

[JohnV8r]

Are there any issues with mixing different types of Anthias in a reef?

Can males of two different types of Anthias be kept successfully?

yes and yes
depends on what ones you keep.
i have a male square and lyretail in the same tank. but i'm sure size of all three matter. both males and the tank .

I would be adding Dispar and Resplendant anthias to a 175 gallon display tank with a male and three female Lyretail anthias.

 

[xxtriggermanxx]

should work , how long has the lyretails been in ?

I currently have seven different species of anthias mixed males and females in my tank without any major issues...some flaring,chasing and fin nipping with only one death from my male Purple Queen killing off a female. The male Lyretail will be the most dominant of those species you are choosing...

I've barletts (9), dispar (3), tuka (3), and am adding privatera (3) and ventralis (5) in two weeks. The only action I get is between my three male bartletts ... There are also 3 Fatheads in there as well.
