I have never seen a female Lyretail without the blue line across the eye and thought it maybe a different species. It is also a darker orange color. LMK what you all think.

Looks to me like a female transitioning to a male.

There were several at the LFS that were the same exact color. Mine has remained the same color for several months.

Looks like an early male phase lyretail. Definitely past the female look, but not full blown male either.

Depending on where they originate from, they can vary in color. But yes, it is a lyretail anthias.
