That's a vague question and you'll get different answers. If the fish are 1-2" and you don't have any other free swimming fish in the tank, you might get away with a 75-90g. Make sure you have lots of places to hide in the rocks, as anthias will sleep in the rocks and often swim in and out of the rocks. If you want them to grow and you will keep other fish, you better have at least a 120g tank.

I think 75 or 90 would be fine as a minimum. I had 4 anthias in my old 75, 7 in my 90. I have other fish too

Current Tank Info: 180g reef with all the bells and whistles
