This was shot using my iphone 4, terrible color of the coral but the anthias show up good! I've had them a little over a year now.

Thanks, I'll have to post some more recent videos that one was taken nov2010. My system is a little crazy but I love anthias & acros. I think the 2 key things that have given me anthias success are a large water volume and super high constant flow. Here's an equipment list:

140G Oceanic Starphire 2 overflows 48x24x30 Main Display
300G Rubbermaid Main Sump
75G AGA Refugium
100G Acrylic Frag Tanks x2

ETSS 2500XR with Reeflo Marlin Pump
57 Watt UV Sterilizer
