First off I like to say you have a great site and tank,
Great Job ,you are an Inspiration with a spectacular setup:)
What I would like to ask you about your Anthias, I have 3 pink anthias, very shy hide when I come near the tank, Have had them for about a month,what is the best food for them?how do you stimulate them to eat well?

Thanks for the kind words regarding the website and tank. Much appreciated. Okay, I've had my Anthias for quite some time now but as I recall one of their first foods was Mysis from Piscene Energetics (http://www.mysis.com). It is still their staple although by now they'll eat anything including nori meant for the tangs.
Another food I'd try is Cyclop-eeZe (http://www.jehmco.com/PRODUCTS_/FISH...clop-eeze.html). I'd go with the frozen version here. But whatever you try, see if releasing it near a powerhead so it really moves through the water begins to stimulate them. My guys really love to 'chase' their food. Good luck.
And by the way, what are Pink Anthias? Any pics?
