Did you read up on the requirments of anthias? if not is it to late to cancle your order. most Anthias requires more room than tangs, and to keep them properly you need 1 male and aprox 6 to 10 females in a tank no smaller than 150 gal (on average) some species can live in 135 gal tanks. on thge other hand you can keep a single one in a tank no smaller than 50 gal BUT that is not optimal. If the ratings are in line to how tangs are rated then it is grosly under sized. for instance a yellow tang is listed as a min tank of 40 gal. where almost every species of anthias is min 50 or bigger. this is all in adition to there frequent eating habbits which means you need to feed them a minimum of 2 times a day preferable 3 or more, But seeing as you are retired I think you can handle that part of it.

you've heard of the tang police well I am the anthias police

Yes I was not totally clear on that. I would not dream of putting any Anthias in my small tanks. (I don't even have a Yellow Tang) Anthias are beatiful fish, so I have ordered the video so I can watch them. I actually have nothing bigger than a young Tomato Clown in my tanks.
