[dukes707]

anyone have any idea what kinda anthias has pink spots on the pectoral fins? its body is mainly a light pink color. i just purchased a new anthias and i am having some trouble id-ing it. the closest thing can find is a japanese seaperch. i would take a pic but he's in hiding now and my camera died. i cant seem to find any other anthias with spotted fins accept the japanese seaperch. any input in most appreciated. thanks in advance.

Lyetail male comes to mind immediately. Note that the spots are the first things to show up on a changing female too, so colors can be quite variable...

thanks for the quik response peter. i didnt even know lyretails can have spots. good info to know. although the shape and personality of mine doesnt really compare to the lyrtails i have encountered. i will do more research.

Well, it's more like one large polka dot on each pectoral fin.
