Purple Queen Anthias
Is anyone of you have PURPLE QUEEN ANTHIAS in your reef tank?
Are they easy to keep? Thanks

You might try posting this in the reef fish forum which would be a little better fit for the subject matter
 They are very hard to keep from what I have read/heard.....it's hard to get them to eat in captivity and most starve to death and/or slowly waste away. FWIW, Chris

Virtually impossible. Look into bartlett, lyretail, dispars instead.
