Anthias ID

[kodiak]

Can anyone help ID these Anthias? They look yellow in the pic, but more orange\pink in person.
thanks

+1 to female lyretails

Good to hear, was hoping they are not anything too hard to keep. They have been in my newly set up qt tank for a week and eating good, hopefully I'll be able to add them to the main tank in a couple weeks. Need them to eat pellets and not be so shy.
Thanks

yup they look like juvi Lyretails..as they grow one will become more dominate and turn male

Def lyretails

I think dispar, the look too "smooth" to be lyretails.

+1... Dispar or Ignitus

I am thinking Dispar... I got a couple of those as "Bartlett's" once. They did not last for me, where the Barlett's eat like a pack of rabid wolves!

I have Lyretails, Dispars and Bartletts...the reddish dorsels made me think Dispar also, but only my female Lyretails have the blue eyes

 

[Pappy]

I agree the eyes give it away.

No way, the fins have different colors on them, not at all uniform like a lyretail. A better shot would help

 

[Lateral72]

They are ignitus or dispar.

Ignitus. The purple eyes are a dead giveaway when comparing to dispar.

After looking at more pics online, I think you might be correct that they are Ignitus Anthias. Here is one more closer pic, maybe it will help. After 11 days in QT, the trio is now in my main tank, swimming out in the open at the top of the tank and eating pellets. Lets hope that continues!!
thanks all
