So I bought what I thought was a lyretail anthias. Went to the store and then thought it was a dispar anthias just got 2 home and they have same coloring but different tail morphology. Now I don’t know what my original one is. Please helpful ines on the bag is dispar and the one free I’m not sure anymore.

The free swimmer has a single large dot on each fin that match the body color. Any thoughts to that?
