Anthias are fairly sensitive to water quality and they are not cheap, so perhaps not the best first fish

For some reason in my mind (after reading other threads from the OP) I did assume that this wouldn't be the OP's first fish, but just the beginning of a new tank.
Anthia's are definitely not a fish for a beginner, I agree 100%. Sorry for the confusion

First fish might best be a herbivore, especially if you are starting a new tank and are looking at significant algae...
Any blennie, my fav a tailspot, any algae eating one my choice
Any Escenius species algae eaters
With your tank size, can get a large impressive one!
