My new fish?

[robb]

I bought this fish today but forgot the name of it by the time I got home. Who can tell me what it is?

looks like a female lyretail anthia. i just got a male last night.

Anthias yes. They had it marked as a Yellow Anthias. I think I shouldn't have bought it though. They told me it would be fine in my 55 community tank but after reading about them it says they are best kept in groups in 100g tanks or bigger. Now I'm thinking it might not of been a good choice.

Robb...
Every Anthias in my Marine Fish book requires between a 30 and 70 gallon tank. I bet that you're okay. The only one that required a 70g was the Squarespot Anthias, and it looks nothing like the fish that you have.
Good luck.

He eats flake food but seems to prefer brine shrimp. He gobbles the brine shrimp like a shark!
