I'm open to suggestions. I'm always up for a challenge as well. I've been enamored with evansi or tukas lately. I know both are tough but I have plenty of experience QT'ing so I'm not too worried about it.

Any other suggestions for anthias are appreciated. I'd like to stay away from the common ones like lyretails, bartletts, and bicolors or any overly aggressive ones.

Also, suggestions on foods to feed initially are appreciated too. I'll try to source some lobster eggs and cyclops in the meantime.
 
Dispar, ignitus, randalls, Pulcherrimus, and carberryi are good starters that aren't aggressive like the ones you mentioned, and will work nicely with evansi and tukas should you try them in the future.

Mysis, San Francisco Bay reef plankton, Hikari krill cubes, cyclops, baby brine shrimp, spirulina brine are all good choices for foods.

Thanks! I'll look into those anthias as well.

I was planning on hatching baby brine and using that as well so appreciate you bringing it up.

The sooner baby brine are fed after hatching, the more nutritious they are.
