Thanks, I will try to get some pics tonight of the feeding frenzy.

So glad to hear that they're doing better!
I'm happy with the purchase (thanks for giving me the confidence to get them). I am amazed at how they found each other and stick together.

I'm seriously considering them once I get rid of my Maldives Lyretails so any and all observations you have about these guys, I'd love to hear.
Do you think they'll get lost/ stressed in a 180 with all the other fish?

These guys are pretty neat. During the day, they huddle around my one powerhead and at night they patrol the whole tank. The only fish that somewhat picks on them is the lemon peel. My male resplendent puts the angel in its place. Mine are always in the open and don't venture into the rock work too much (unless they are completely spooked). In your 180, I don't think they would get lost (would probably help to have at least 5-7 to alleviate the stress from the other fish). When I upgrade my tank, I definitely plan on expanding my harem.

They really look great!
Two of them died. I lost the male and the small female. They just were never quite right from the beginning.
However, I got 2 females from a different source and I must say what a difference!!! They paired up with my remaining anthias immediately and have been exploring the whole tank together as a group. The other ones I got for the most part stayed huddled in the corner or along the seams. My remaining female from the last group is definitely morphing into a male and I believe it was starting the change before I got it.

That stinks! Glad the two new ones took right to the other. I'm convinced that males just aren't as hardy unless you have them as females that change. It's really cool to watch them change, my dominant lyretail is changing now and it's neat to watch.
Mind shooting me a PM of your other source? I really think these guys are going in the new tank.

PM sent. I noticed that if they appear blotchy then they are doomed. My original small resplendent was blotchy when I first got it and it got that way shortly before it died.
