schooling anthias

[ReefEnabler]

Hello

hopefully soon I will be able to start my 220G reef. still in the early phase and thinking about fish stocking. it will be a mixed reef focused on corals, so of course I'd like to stick to reef safe fish. I'm thinking mostly tangs and anthias. Eventually a mandarin; I've finished building a 50G acrylic refugium well technically I still gotta drill a hole for the bulkhead.....

for the anthias, I was wondering if its considered a good idea to get a decent number of them of the same species so they will school together, rather than getting a bunch of different anthias. what would be an appropriate number in a 220, among tangs?

I am also curious if they would work well with tangs, and to what degree the relative numbers would matter. Would they be effective at all in 'distributing aggression' between tangs of different spcies?. I am thinking I may have between 5-8 tangs but I'm still reading about the various species at this point.

Thanks,

Ryan
