Anthias ID
Got this anthias from an LFS. They only had one, but I'll be on the lookout for more for a shoal. There are two large yellow spots on each pectoral fin and a very long 1st dorsal spine is sometimes visible.
Sorry for the bad pics, but the anthias is camera shy. Does anyone know what species it is? [IMG][/IMG] |

Really difficult to tell from the photo but could be a female Squareback - they will have lines running down from their eyes through the lower half of the body. Or it could be a female Lyretail anthias especially if it is more orange than yellow.

It's actually colored up a lot and now has some bright orange at the back of the dorsal fin and an orange cheek stripe. It's looking like a lyretail transitioning to a male.
