I am planning on buying a shoal (group) of Lyretail anthias, however I am uncertain if they will be able to live in my moderate/high water flow 250 gallon tank.

This tank has SPS corals with high/moderate flow. Will a group of anthias have trouble swimming in moderate high oxygen flow tanks? Or will they fair better in low level flow tanks.

I have 3 modded MJ1200 in the tank.

thanks.

They will have no trouble with the flow.

+1 on triggerman's comments. My lyretails find the highest flow point in the tank and swim into it. This seems to be their preferred spot in the water column. My tank has roughly 50x's turnover.

They love them some flow.
