Lyretails are the hardiest. Dispar and Bartletts are fairly hardy also.
They look best when there is one male to 3 or 4 females (same species). You can mix most common species. They generally arrive lacking in fat storage so multiple feedings per day is required until their storage has replenished. This means that you have to watch nitrates, have a good skimmer and be strict with w/c's. Start by feeding finely grated frozen. They are beautiful fish and really add realism to a reef tank but need the above special care. There is plenty of reading here on RC. Just use the search function.

IMO... Barletts are the hardiest, followed by Lyretails. Good to get 1M & 3+F or all F.
Make sure they are eating at the LFS before you purchase them. I have Barletts (1M & 3F) and Lyretails (3F) together in a 180g and they get along fine. The Barletts eat anything, the Lyretails only touch frozen foods. Daphnia & Cyclopes are good foods for Anthias since they mimic the small plankton that these fish graze on all day.
