Is 3 a good number of Dispar Anthias for a 90 gal reef?
I read Anthias are very shy when housed singly and that this particular Anthias should be kept in odd numbers, are 3 enough?

Many Anthias really do well singly; but why keep them that way when they are one of the few fish we can keep in small groups? IMO & IME, 3 would be ideal in a 90. One will become the male and the dominate fish (like it SHOULD be with humans), its a neat social order & physical change to watch.
