I got this anthias from a petco when traveling back home from out of town. Now that I have it I kind of want to get a couple more to get a group but need to know what it is. They were not sure what kind of anthias it is, and sold it to me as a pink anthias after looking at their prices for about twenty minutes. I was told it might be a female Lyretail but a couple people said it looks different then theirs...so does anybody know what kind of anthias this is? It's front half is pink, fins are yellow, and some of the scales on the back half have an orangish appearance. It has a redish stripe by its eye to its gill, but not the purple like I seen in lyretails and it's eye isn't purple. It is in my sons biocube right now for observation, as I don't completely trust fish from petco. I plan to adding it to my display next week and now have a few questions.
I've read some anthias are very aggressive. I have a flame wrasse and hooded fairy wrasse, is it likely the anthias will bully them?
If I get a group, should I add them all at the same time or can I add tis one first and a few more females a little later?
Will this turn male without any females? I was told it will not change without any females present, but in my fish keeping experience a single fish will turn the dominant form.
