Anthias are really hard to get a straight answer on, actually. I've heard different stories about them. One store says they're social fish and need to be kept in a small school. Another store says they're social fish, but their social structure isn't very well understood, so they're better off housed alone. Either way, you're like me... you have a moderately large tank stocked with very small fish. I'd say you'd have room for 3-4 small Anthias easily... depending on which school of thought you want to go with on their schooling behaviour.

if you mean the standard wreck fish then they are better in shoals but only 1 male in teh tank or trouble starts.
a tank of this size would be ok with 1 male and 3 females.. perhaps 4

Definately a social fish and i will be rebuilding my shoal up soon i hope
