Queen anthias

[Waco Pilot]

I have one Queen/Purple Anthias. I would like to add another Anthias of some sort into my 75g tank. The other fish are a Firefish, Scooter Blenny, Randall's Goby, Tiger Goby, Six-line Wrasse. I would like another mid-level swimmer as three are bottom dwellers, the Firefish basically hovers in the same area and only the Wrasse is active all over the tank. The Queen Anthias comes out from time to time but spends about half its time sitting in a rock cave. I was hoping the two Anthias might start swimming together.

I've got a trio of Purple Queen and pair of Dispar Anthias in a 75g and they get along just fine.

Any Anthia from the subgenus Mirolabrichthys would work best IMO.

What are you feeding the Purple Queen? How long have you had them?
