Lyretail are hard to keep in general.
This past Christmas I bought 2 female and a male. And my buddy Bignose did as well.
He lost all three. I have a male left. They are constant foragers. I added an auto feeder and NLS pellet. The male is fed three times a day now and is doing fine.
Anthias are also disease prone.
I would say keep one. If you can keep it alive, consider more later. Make sense? I personally will not add more. They are costly to lose.
