Fathead/sunburst anthias Q’s

[TX_Punisher]

i am looking at adding 3-4 to my 180. These will be the final fish additions. Have a few tangs, single spot rabbitfish, a female zebra angel, several wrasses, diamond goby, and lawnmower blenny. Tank is 2yo.

How are there temperament toward other tank mates? Do they readily take prepared or frozen foods? Still have the same feeding requirements that other anthias have (3-4 times per day)?

Any other thoughts comments? Are thy like other anthias and pick on one until it dies?

How about QT? Do they withstand CP or copper?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Sunburst anthias are mean to each other. I've had a couple but have not been successful in keeping them long term. Both of mine got sick and died. They are hard to get on a captive diet but I fed mine baby brine shrimp to get them eating and then slowly mixed in other foods untill they started eating. I don't have enough info on if they will leave each other alone in a 180 but I think that tank is big enough to give them space. They are my favorite anthias that and the sunburst

They don't do well in heavy medicated water
