No one I know. Look at them wrong and they'll either stop eating or drop dead entirely

Unlikely to survive.

have been tempted to try a school of them, but such bad reports...I did get a trio of tiger queen anthias from divers den a few months back & they are also a hard to keep anthias, so far so good eating all the good frozen stuff, 2 will eat spectrum, the other no way.

Even when you can get them to eat, there is no guarantee of success.
