I just got one of those. Since it's an anthia I thought it would be okay.

Does anyone have ANY tips?

Take it back is always an option if you can catch it.

He should take it back or give you another one for cheap! I was looking to get one of these fish and my lfs suggested i not do it, unless I buy 2. And he said even then they are difficult to keep and i should rethink the purchase. I repect a lfs who does this, means he is not out for a sale only

Is your tank large enough to support a pair? There is 4 in lfs and have been there for several months, I guess he tries to talk every customer out of getting 1 and since they get pretty large and 2 is expensive! So if my lfs can keep his alive in his meager small tank, maybe you could also?

I have a 75. I think two would be fine but I will have to do some research and see exactly how big they do get.
