I can't tell if the harem of anthias is sarcastic or not, can i do it? Are they going to be bothered or bother the tangs? What should i order to get the harem i want?

not sarcastic. what size tank btw? if the 125 youprobably could do like 2 or 3 females and 1 male. should be no bother with the tangs as well. also, though, you may limit your stock list because that's 3-4 good sized fish going in there. depending on the coloration, you may not worry about it though.

Currently I have the two tangs, a marroon clown and maybe a LMB, though I haven't seen it in a while. I was thinking of adding that harem you suggested and two bengai cardinals

Fish can be to skiddish in an aquarium and I don't feel like having venom injected into me so I have to deal with that crap too.

This is not adviced. The adult sizes of those fish will overload the bio-filtration of the average 75 gallon tank, and the fish will be too large to be comfortable.

Some species of Anthias are difficult to keep.
It's been my experience that small feedings multiple times a day are needed to keep them healthy. Also, a pod producing refugium seems to help as they aggressively feed on pods introduced into the tank from my return pump.

I have a 125 with two false perc clowns, two Bangaii Cardinals, Sleeper Goby, Royal Gramma, Blue Hippo Tang, my three Anthias (one male two females) will be out of QT in one week (they are not sick, just new), and then I will be adding a Sailfin Tang and then Yellow Tang. I'll be maxed out at that point.
