I have a 200 gallons reef tank. I am considering to have schooling of anthias (1 male, five female) but i am hesitant about which species should i choose. In your opinion which are the nicest anthias of these 3: resplendent, carberryi or lyretail anthias ?

Thanks for the comments

I would personally opt for the carberryi.

I think the resplendent anthias are very pretty and they don't get too large. Also, both the males and females are pretty.IME Carberry's fade somewhat.

Resplendent Anthias. I'm biased as I have 3 of them (1 male, 2 female).

I recently purchased 3 carberryi's from LA. They are beautiful. I've had them for 1 month. They eat ova and spirulina brine well and are happy in my 90. These are my first anthia, so can't compare them to the others. Have heard that the bartlett's are a really good choice as well

I would say resplendent. I've had all 3. The carberri's color became really pale after about 3 months and they got large fast. The lyretail are beautiful especially in large groups but the male is pretty aggressive. The Resplendent stayed small and peaceful. Also kept there colors well
