Anthias Suggestions for a 7ft tank?

[NC122606]

I plan on a 7ft 220 Gallon and was wondering what Anthias you guys suggest? Thanks!

If you have the funds: ventralis, bimacs. A lot of them. Or good ole Bartletts are always beautiful IMO. The only ones I have yet to try are purple queens.

I second the suggestion of lots of bimacs and bartletts. Ventralis are too small and fragile.

The best thing you can do is take a look at these fish I have filtered out for you.

Take a look and write down the fish you see and like, come back here and tell me your selections and I can tell you a bit more about them.
Dwarf Angelfish and maybe a Yellow Tang could fit in there. Just take a look at come back.

Wow! You keep a Butterflyfish and 2 Puffers in control (With Corals)? I love the selection!

And a dwarf angel!

Burgessi butterflyfish are supposed to be more reef safe.

My 2 puffers don't bother corals, but do eat my CUC.

Bartlett are famous for turning Male and picking each other off.

I am far from an anthias expert, but I would suggest dispar, carberryi, or Ignitus. Tank also might be big enough for a few of the larger species, like lyre tail or square back.
