Dispars are a fairly hardy species as anthias go. IMO only Lyretails are hardier but not by much. 65g is a bit small for anthias. I would recommend 90g or more due to their natural movements.
If you do get some try 1M and 1or 2 F.

Anthias are pretty sensitive to water quality and prone to bacteria infection. I have some lyretails and I'd say they are pretty hardy. However the male is kinda aggresive...

I have a tricolor (kashiwae) in my 55g and he does great. Eats everything, very hardy. I hear that Bartett's are also good for our size tanks.

I'd really have to disagree about dispars being hardy, both from personal experience to what I've heard from fellow reefers.
Stick to lyretails, bartlett, redbar....

Maybe try a single Lyretail. I started out with a single male and he did great for over a year (with only 1 larger feeding per day) until my power went out for 12+ hours. I now have two females and they have been doing fine for about 1-1/2 years. The larger female does occationally bully the smaller one, so you'd probably be better with just one. HTH
