Lyretail anthia hiding

[Saltwaterscrub2]

I bought two anthias, one of them is very active and the other one has been hiding in between rocks. Should I be worried is this normal? or how can I fix this?

Sounds pretty normal to me. My Dispar Anthias were both very hide-y at first...... now they are out all the time.

Time. And food

Lyretail anthias are very active fish that dont normally hide. That is a sign of bullying or parasites.
Did you qt them? Treat them for flukes and worms? Ich etc
Do you know of both are male?

I did not local fish store has a very good rep for fish so I trust them. (Heard from many other people) I believe they are both female have not checked yet. One of them swims all over the tank while the other one sits between a rock hiding.

Very normal. Some can be very shy.
For foods : meaty such as LRS or RODS foods
