The harder to keep anthias such as the evansi need peace.You should properly QT all anthias for a least a month.Proper deworming with PraziPro also.Wild caught fish can and do come in with flukes and internal parasites especially anthias.It took nearly a week in QT before I got my two evansi to eat.At first only newly hatch brine w/ selcon then I move them over to cyclops and mysis(freeze dried and frozen).Once I fatten them up,I treat them for worms.Several months later,they eat aggressively as all the other anthias in my tank and they eat just about anything too.

Good luck with them,those are one of my favorite anthias.
