Okay let me get this straight,
I will try the different tang species.
Does that only hold true for the Barlett's or all Anthias?

Thanks again,I'll skip the Trigger(yes I'm chicken sh!t).They like to redecorate the decor besides all the other risk.

According to the books, the bicolor anthias can handle the stress of having more aggressive tankmates. I have had three in my tank once, a long time ago and the did great until I went on vacation and I came home to find 2/3 of one and 1/4 of another - my triggerfish and shark ate them - that was during a rather difficult time in my life when I was REALLY into experimenting with my fish. So I cannot vouch for them with tangs. I have also tried bartlett's (Christmas Anthias) and purple queens. They did not do well with just one tang and slowly died off. My understanding is that any zooplankton feeder (anthias) are best kept with nonaggressive tankmates only. You might be able to get away with bicolors if they are established first and if you have a good sized school - 5 or so. Sorry for the bad news. On the other hand, your choice of tangs will make you happy. Get a Sohal, really, they are amazing - just add it last, they can get quite aggressive, but WOW are they beautiful with their long flowing tails.
