I have a 72"x 30"x 18" reef tank with lps and soft corals. Presently have it stocked with a hippo tang, yellow tang, smiths Benny, tail spot blenny, 2 occelaris clowns, royal gramma,'2 yellowtail damsels. I would like to add a group of lyre tail Anthias, maybe 1 male and 4 females. Right now I feed once a day. From what I have read Anthias have to be fed more often. Do people use a auto feeder? If so what kind? What kind of food? Does anyone see any problems with my stocking list?

Lyre tails don't shoal often

Feed 3 times a day. I use an auto feeder, Eheim dual. When QTing them get them to eat flake & pellets then it's easy. Mine eat anything I put in the tank but that's because they were trained in QT and weren't released until they did, saves a lot of feeding hassle. Lyretails are fairly active so you will have a lot of Color moving around all the time.
