I wanted to get some schooling fish. I've tried chromis and they seem to beat each other up until there's just one left. I didn't want anthias for the same reason.

I ended up stopping by Reefwise today and they had these 5 awesome captive bred Banggai Cardinals.

I take horrible photos but these guys love my red dragon!

JUst so everyone knows, these usually pair up as they get bigger and single others out until only one left. Awesome schooling fish when small
 
I believe I read somewhere that they only school if it's 5 or more and in a large aquarium... I still like my single Banggai. : )
 
I had the same thing happen to me... I purchased 7 of them because I've heard of their successful schooling in tanks. I can't remember the timing that it took place, but now I am down 1. All of this happened in a 250g Reef with friendly tank mates.

Good luck with yours. Hopefully they get along!
