I have a 90 gallon tank soon-to-be stocked. I am thinking of a basic list to begin with:
Yellow tang
Fairy Wrasse
(4) Clowns
Jawfish or Gobies
Maybe a Hawkfish
Few Shrimp and cleaner crew

I know little to nothing about Anthias but have enjoyed the pictures on here and was wondering if they have any special needs above or beyond the average peaceful fish? Do they eat well, reef safe, etc.
Any species better than others?

They eat ALOT, and need to be fed atleast 2-3 times per day

I have a pair if lyretail anthias and feed them twice a day. A mix of flake or pellet in the morning and a frozen mix at night. They love cyclopeeze as a snack.

Lyretail and bartletts are two of the more hardier anthias.

Checkout http://www.wetwwebmedia.com for more info.

You might encounter some fighting with 4 clowns in one tank (unless it's a very large tank).

Some hawkfish are known to eat shrimp and snails.

Hawkfish are not "reef safe." I had to trade mine in, because it liked to snack on my hermit crabs and snails.

Thanks for the advice.
The LFS told me about Clowns and that at best I can hope for 2, that they are not schooling fish.
I hate that about the hawkfish, red fish seem a rarity and the hawks have such a brilliant red color.
As for Anthias, I might try one if I can swing a autofeeder for flake food during the day when I'm at work.
I really appreciate the advice. This website is a great resource for the newbee aquarist. Kudos!
