Brough home 5 nice small Despar Anthias on the weekend. I've been looking for some shoalling fish to add for a while.
The only resident that didn't like them was the Kole, he chased them for about a day, finally stopped and all is friendly.
They're all feeding well, although with them needing a few feeds per day, and the tangs stealing most of any food, I'm hoping the phosphates don't start to rise too much. Although nothing much reaches the sand!!

I added some Lyretails to my tank a few months ago and they make the tank look much more active! My lineatus wrasse chases them a bit but nothing too serious.

I mentioned before that the Yellow Eye Kole really chased the Anthias when they first went in, but I meant to add that it was amazingly strange to see the Sailfin Tang keep moving in between the Kole and the Anthias to stop him from chasing them.
It was quite a deliberate move by the Sailfin to stop the aggression. Finally the Kole gave up.
