    Thanks Will.. I cant wait to see yours up and running..

    The anthias while beautiful were mislabeled and were actually purple queen anthias which are considered expert only as they have finicky eating habits. They want live food a few times a day. I read they have between 5-10% survival rate past a few months.. Also another thing is that many of these fish when collected have their swim bladders pinned as they are a deep water fish only adding insult to injury. I told the main guy at the LFS what I learned and he said he wouldn't order them again.. So far on his biweekly orders there havent been any so I hope my lesson helped him and future buyers..
