I do not have or should say I don't have success sunburst.
I gave up on them.....they are too secrective, don't compete well
I have princess, square, dispar, sunset, evansi, carberryi, randall, tukas, tigers and bartlett.
-
Anything that can be use to break the branches.....pliers, tweezer, fingers, hammer and chisels.

They are a very beautiful species of fish for a reef aquariums
But I have seen many that are not doing well cos of not eating or not eating enough.
Maybe Riodan can share how he is feeding his (especially the tukas) and what he is doing to maintain his water quality.

Don't think it is worth the time and effort to culture bbs to adult....
Feeding them them is going to cost you more than going to the LFS and buy a packet of adult Brine Shrimps.
You can never get the density you want from home culture too but if you want to keep a 2ft tank of them and see them swimming around that is a different case.
Just feed them with yeast or phtyo or even grounded fish food and you can have generation after generation of them.

Should be me and I don't even know who you are
Sorry don't remember you...can pm me to refresh my memory

No thanks for the skimmer don't need that kind of skimming at the moment. May need it if my anthias population goes up.
At least my anthias are not sharing the same water as my sps...so don't have to worry too much for now.
In your case you can only drool if there are beautiful anthias that the LFS bring in
Sometime it is good to be a little bit 'mad'.......

Randall don't stay chicken for long
Aggressive tankmate will harass the more timid ones to the point of it not eating.
If can be avoided, don't put anthias of the same colours together although it maybe from 2 different species unless you know that they will not fight or can remove the fish easily if have to.
That is why my anthias tank has limited LR....so catching them out is easy
I have already removed my bartlett, next on the list will be the square and then follow by the randall
-
Nope...Japan to Palau according to fishbase
-
AT, start a new tank
Keep all anthias separate from the sps.....only put your favourite species in the sps.
Would suggest that you somehow remove your bartletts...if you want to have some chance with the evansi. The colouration are almost the same and bartlett are very aggressive.
After the evansi has 'settled down', then it may be able to compete with the other fishes.
Randall is also very aggressive, and it will mark out and defend its territory.

AHHH!! You managed to ID the two!!
Pseudanthias parvirostris! Beautiful fish!!
Yes managed to find out the names...
Are you planning to get them? the Sunset I mean.
I also like to have Pseudanthias flavoguttatus...if it is available and is not ridiculous priced like the Pseudanthias pictilis
-
I have 10 species of anthias, 34 fishes total

I got dispar but I'm not going to post those pics as they are very common and not too diffcuilt to keep
Here are pics from my new aqusitions.
It the Sunset Anthias, Pseudanthias parvirostris.
Beautiful fishes, and they start eating after I released them into the tank.
I think this fish is beautiful and easy....and I hope it will not be too aggressive.

Thank..but I'm not interested in the sunburst anymore. It is a solitary fish and will fight if keep more than 1.
Did you notice that I more keen on anthias of a certain body shape?
I give up on those anthias that have body shape of a tri-colour/lyretail, they are more aggressive.
