Anthias experience

[Robb in Austin]

Who has kept anthias, what species, and what's your insight?

I'm looking into adding some to my tank but keep reading somewhat conflicting reports on what species is best.

I'm leaning towards dispar or lyretail as good options but would like local first hand reports.

Edit to add current inhabitants:

sailfin tang, naso tang, splendid dottyback, pair of Clarkii clowns, six line, starry blenny, one spot foxface,

and a blue eyed cardinal.

I've had good luck with Lyretail, Bartlets and Dispar. They are not as long lived as damsels, clowns or dwarf angels which may or may not be a good thing depenidng on a person's long term objectives and preferences.
