Okay, i'm looking into picking up an anthias, I'm starting to do some research on them and i figure i'll start here...
Is there an Anthias thats peaceful and hardy that would be considered easy to care for?
Any recommendations?

To be honest, quite the opposite is true. There is really only one anthias species that is somewhat hardy, Lyretails, and there's Evansi and Barlett's which I guess the best way to describe is, that they 'aren't that hard.' However, far and away most anthias range from pretty hard to keep, to impossible. Almost all anthias come with some form of internal parasite/worm, and could use a stay in a proper quarantine tank to monitor.
Lyretail are pretty peaceful, if they are the last addition smaller sized fish addition, and they are the only fish in the "Sea Bass" family (Royal Grammas, Bassletts, etc). They can be terrors too.
