I have had a pair of 2 Dispar Anthias for a while! A male & female, Healthy and active. Last week the female found a gap in my lid where my return is and jumped out… my male then went into hiding and starved himself until he died… anyone else had anything similar?

Anthias do best in harems, I would get him at least 3 more females!

I suspect there may be an issue affecting them. Just alone, a drop in salinity will affect them as will be lack of diet
