Resplendent or dispar anthias?

[pfan151]

Planning to pick up either 4 disparate or 4 resplendents. Any options or pros and cons of either? I'd like something that stays at least loosely together. I've read about multiple males forming in resplendent groups. Do you think that would be a problem with my group only being 4? They will be going into a 90 "cube".

I think resplendents are much more attractive, but also more difficult to keep. I have a group of 4 and they've been stable for a while now.

I was leaning towards the resplendents. Yours still stay grouped together pretty well?

They do yes, and they stay pretty much within 6" of a large plating monti. I think larger fish keep them together.
