So I just realized I did the stupidest thing in the world. The tank is polished and has beautiful beveled edges but instead of putting anything under it I just set it on the stand. Just learned that's a big no no, apparently you can crack your tank REALLY easy by doing this so to anyone setting up a tank make sure you put plywood followed by a layer of foam down on top of your stand. Will grab new photos when I swap it over.

Here is an excellent article on anthias and keeping themby Scott Michael on anthias
http://www.reefs.org/library/talklog...chterm=anthias

He does not recommend the purple queen.
My own experience and the experience of a few reefers concerning the lyre tail is poor.
I put them in as a shoal and one by one they just disappear.
Same thing happened when I tried again and I won't try them again.
