Trading in the clowns for Anthias... need advice

[DieselJunkie]

My tank has become more and more SPS. I had two HUGE bi color bubble tips that concern me. They are both healthy but both so big I fear if they ever let go, the damage even over 240 gal of system volume would be horrible night.

I have two picasso clowns that have never left the top corners, other than feeding in over a year. Frankly, they are boring and the anemone concerns are not worth the merit.

So anyways, research has led me to thinking that Carberryi's would be a great choice. My only hesitation is my tank is very peaceful, last thing I want is a bunch of jerks in the tank.

Are cranberry's my best option for some active fish that school up? 4 of them? looking for a bio load trade off here, 2 large anemones and 2 clowns for the anthias.

Thanks for the help!

Carberryi would be a good choice. They're towards the easier end for anthias and when I have kept them they were not aggressive at all. Very nice fish; one of my faves.

Anthias are awesome even though they seem to have a relatively short lifespan in home aqauriums

I agree. Carberryi and Resplendent are very nice and medium in terms of difficulty.
