Bimac Anthias in Bright reef tank?

Hello Everyone,

I am thinking of buying 4 female Bimac Anthias for my 120 gallons tank.
The problem is that my tank is an SPS tank, so it has a very bright light. And I also run my tank a bit hot as in 78 during the winter and about 82 during the summer. I read that those anthias are found a bit deeper than other anthias.

So has anyone keep those anthias before in the bright reef tank?
Can they handle the bright light and still keep their beautiful color?
Can they handle the hot temperature of the reef tank as well?

Thanks.

I have two in my 190g sps tank. They do fine with my bright light and have kept all their color. My tank doesn't get up to 82 degrees though. I'd say it gets to 80 at the warmest. They are beautiful fish, I highly recommend them if you have the space. They can get very large.
