got ethical husbandry?

Should I worry about adding more Lyretail anthias to an existing group?

No experience with this, but If you’d like to try using an acclimation box I have one you can borrow in SF. It can either hang on the side or suction cup on.
Best of luck with the new additions!

TY for the offer, but I have the CPR one to use myself, but I find until I release them I don't really know of they will be treated.
 
So far I added 2 new females today...minor fighting with similar size fish in group. I guess establishing pecking order.

This is often standard operating procedure with Wrasse's. I'll keep a new tank wrasse in the acclimation box for 2-4 days. While there will still be some minor territorial displays and chasing after release it absolutely cuts down on aggression. It would probably work the same with Anthias if you're worried.
