What are the purple fish? Some have yellow too.

There is a mix of Pseudanthias pascalus (not pictured in that picture), and male and female Pseudanthias tuka and juvenile/female Pseudanthias evansi, in the picture you asked about. The P. evansi have more yellow and purple, with a mixing of purple and yellow similar to that of a royal gramma. The P. tuka are more orange and purple with males being all purple. The females have an orange stripe down the dorsal into the tail. The P. evansi is more of a diagonal split of yellow and purple.
 
Is there a common name? Are they rare or available for sale? I live on the West Coast and would love to find a source.
