Anthia ID please

[VintageReefer]

This was being sold as a female lyretail

I’ve had them before and this doesn’t look the same. Is it just stressed from the photos or is it a different type of anthia?

Thank you

Possibly a Disbar?

Is there a photo of it actually in water? Could be female dispar or bicolor.

I requested in water photo.

I don’t know why sellers take these out of water in hand photos.

Can it be a yellow lined or blood spot anthia?

Pseudanthias luzonensis

Description says
Imported from Kenya and all of them have completed 2 weeks of preventative cupramine treatment

Seller probably asleep but when I get on water picture I will post it

Pseudanthias luzonensis

The finning is wrong for it to be that species, the red dorsal fin says either Disbar or Bicolour.

Forgot to post both pics.

The origin will usually help with species but the two main species believed to be this fish are found in the Indian Ocean.

Forgot to post both pics.

I’d say it’s more likely Disbar as Bicolours have a deep purple colour on them.

I’ve been image searching and I feel dispar is correct. Thank you

Lyretail Anthias are Pseudanthias squamipinnis and Disbars are Pseudanthias dispar.
