Can't they all just get along ?

I have a 180gl SW tank and lots of swimming room as I do not like lots of rock. I have non aggressive fish except for one, green chromis. There are 5 of them, but you will on any given day see one...him.... He is such a bully the others have taken into hiding. They only come out to eat then run back to the safety of the hiding place. It doesn't bother anything else in the tank. Once he tried to bully my CB, but she put him in his place so it leaves her alone. I would like to catch this guy, but not sure if the next big one will do the same. I do know chromis are aggressive in nature, but this has been a year now and still the same.

I heard to get some antheias and maybe they will all school together, but who knows...right

Sadly you will end up with a single dominant Chromis over time. Anthias require multiple feedings a day.

It's hard to say for sure, I have had good luck keeping chromis long term, but many have bad luck w/ them and swear they will dwindle down to one.
Anthias will shoal, some species more than or easier than others, and agree multiple daily feedings are required.
I've found lyretails to be pretty forgiving, quick to eat pellets which make easier to do multiple feedings.
I use an auto feeder w/ NLS pellets.
