I have a Sailfin Tang and 5 damsels (2 blue, 2Blue/yelow tail, and 1 three stripe) in my 75 gal. I saw some real prettye Purple Queen Anthias at river city Aquatics that I would like to add. I know i would need 3. My question is would i have to remove my damsels to and the anthias?

I have a 75 RR with 20 gal sump 125-130 lbs. live rock and 4 inch sand bed.

The only thing I can think is damsels can be really aggressive, they might fight the new guy. Also I wouldn't add two male anthias in a 75 gallon.

Agreed, I haven't been able to confirm the male to female ratio we've got up there, as there isn't a lot of variation in color between the 5 we've still got. I've been meaning to check on sexing them, but dont often get around to a computer, but I'd hate for you to get any that'd conflict with eachother and end up fighting :o But, from the looks of it, we got 4-5 males, as only one of them seemed to have any lighter color to it, and it seems the females have a yellow streak across the top that goes back through the tail, hope this helps
