Question about anthias

[unclehowie]

I currently have a barlett anthias, I would like to add an evansi anthias. I have been told that its safe to add with my barlett, and on the other hand i was told that its not.

I have a 120 gallon tank, my bartlett is a male. Can someone please advise. Thanks in advance.

I found this, its not much but, it appears that they may be ok together.

The Bartlett's Anthias does best when kept with its own species in a tank of at least 50 gallons, but is also a beautiful fish for the fish only, invertebrate, or reef aquarium. The Anthias dwells in the middle of a tank but appreciates the availability of several hiding places. Anthias

Most Anthias are peaceful with each other as long as there is only one male in the system. In the wild they can be seen in schools that number in the hundreds to low thousands. It's just comes down to your best educated decision.
