Help with anthias identification

[websurfer]

I bought what i thought was 7 dispar anthias some time ago. Was not the case haha

so I thought I would film one of the non dispar males eating as he is a beast when he eats like a bass..

I forgot to put my lid on and yup he bailed out and the wife called me saying the frenchi was eating the fish…

Now I’m trying to figure out what it was as I want more.. pretty sure I have one just like it now but female as he would flash it as the lights go down..

It’s the larger one in the vid going ham

Can you get white light photos?
Blues don’t show fish colours well which makes it even harder to ID them as many anthias can’t be IDed through body shape alone.

I will try with the last one that’s in the tank. I was thinking the same thing sorry about that let me try to grab one once I get home.. just left the fish store they think it’s a Randall's Anthias..

As soon as I turn up the whites this fish goes into hiding mode haha see if this is any better.

Honestly I’d say these guys are Bartletts Anthias.

I had a similar issue with what was thought to be juvenile dispars & lyretails. As they grew I realized (via ident here on the forum) it was just a harem of lyretails (1x male to 4 females).
