Unhappy Queen Anthias "But they're so pretty!"

Just wondering if anyone has ever truthfully kept this fish alive for any extended period of time? If so, feeding tips would be appreciated. I prefer to stay away from live brine shrimp if possible.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

You're right about Chromis killing each other off...Actually started with 7 and ended up with 2. I guess I'm just terrible about learning from past experience.
