I'm getting a lot of mixed numbers online. Ranging from 30 to 125 gallons. They would be put in at the same time. The other inhabitants are
1 Lavender Tang
1 Blue Tang
2 Chromis
1 Blenny
1 Maroon Clown
1 Yasha Goby

Just writing that sounds like I'm at maximum already. Undetectable Nitrates and Phosphates.

Dont think it should be a problem, other then the usual anthias concerns.

Ive had 3 Lyretails in my 65g RSM tank at work for 8 months now.

In your case there shouldnt be any issues. Id atleast go with 3.

sunburt anthias or fat head anthias are not a harem type like most other anthias. They do best as one. If you plan on keeping the tangs you will need a bigger tank soon as both get too big for a 90 on their own.
