Mixing Anthias- yay or nay?

[SaltyB24]

Those with experience keeping anthias- would it be okay to have 1 Bartlett, 1 Lyretail, and 1 Fathead Sunburst? I am trying to add movement and color variation to the middle and top of the tank. I have read mixed reviews on the Sunburst being one that stays in the rocks often so anyone with personal experience that could chime in I would appreciate it!

Thanks y'all!

Size of the tank?

I had 10+ different tangs in a 10 foot tank with no issues.

You'd be fine with those anthias in a large tank, in a 75 gallon might have issues.

100 gallons and they would all be introduced at the same time!

Why not choose one species and make it a trio Adds that color and movement and keeps any hostility within that group. I have a pair of bimacs and a blotchy that do fine together. Bimacs up the water column. Blotchy keeps to the rocks and lower.

I like having a variety of colors so that was my thought process on three different species that all vary in color
