out of curiosity how big is your tank? one of these anthias should be kept singularly in a minimum of 55 preferably 70 gal or larger tank with several hiding spots for them to dive to when they feel threatened. if you have more than one then the minimum tank size is increased to 180 gal. if they are spooked it is not uncommon for them to hide for up to a week.
another tidbit about them is they are a medium light fish and there colors will tend to fade in high lighting.
