Do you think if I add a school of chromis or anthias, they might deter possible abuse? I really wanted some type of schooling fish, just don't want to mess up the currenty husbandry. I love my current fish, and really don't want to part with them. Thanks again for the reply.....

I put a school of Fiji (large) Chromis in with yellow tang in my 90g at my daughters school and at first it chased them but now they are all fine. A few of the chromis died in the proccess though. I would try that first so it doesn't hurt the wallet as much as anthias.

Alright,
Just went to pick up some salt, and saw some of these anthias that I could not pass up on..... Redbelted / Tricolor / Redband Anthias They are about 3", and seem to have acclimated to all inhabitants very well. I just fed, and they fed like they had not eaten in days....LOL... They seem a bit more aggressive for anthias, and swam w/o fear. I know they need regular feedings, so I will be increasing daily feedings to add more poooo to the water column. Thanks again DaddyJax and triggerfish1976!!! How often are you feeding your fish DaddyJax? Also, will I need to do more water changes with the additional nutrient load in the tank? Thanks again, here is a link of the 2 beauties I got today...

Very cool! I only do 10% WC weekly and sometimes biweekly. I feed twice a day because anthias need to feed often and only fresh frozen meaty foods like brine and mysis or make your own.

Update.....
All is well after 24 hours, the anthias's have survived, and seem to be thriving and getting along with all others.....LOL..... Ok DaddyJax, I think I am on the way now, all my sps corals seem to have 2 x the PE as before the change, and even those stn'n seem to be recovering, and new tissue growth over lapping lost tissue areas........ I am glad to make the transition, and so far have no complaints! Thanks again
