Anthia Madness

[DeanG13]

My LFS got a new shipment in "from Africa" and there were some Anthias I just couldn't resist, I had to get one for my tank. They were marked as Spotted Fin Anthias, but I looked online and they seem to most closely resemble Lyretail Anthias. Can anyone help me clarify?

Here are some pics:

Definitely a Male

Amazing Coloration

thats what i got when i searched lyretail anthias, so it does seem to resemble this breed more than the spotted fin variety.

Amazing looking fish though, hope I can find something that nice.

That is a male Maldives lyretail anthias(Pseudanthias squamipinnis).A little less common version of the regular lyretails.

Congrats!Anthias are my favorite reef fish.
