Ignitus v Dispar v Carnerryi Anthias ID

[reefpatrique]

I bought 4 dispar anthias . . . but after seeing pictures of dispar, ignitus, and carberryi anthias, I'm starting to think I may have purchsed either ignitus or carberryi anthias. My fish are a little too squirrely for me to get a good picture -- can anyone give some definitive distinguishing features among these fish?

Well let's try this.

From looking at photos online, it seems the biggest difference is in the males coloration, as all the females look similar.
Carberryi

Ignitus

Dispar

@GlassMunky so it's probably more of a game of wait and see when one turns it seems

Well let's try this.

it looks like you have 4 females, as that’s how they start out.
My Dispars started turning male within about 2-3 weeks, so be on the lookout for the biggest/most dominant one to start changing colors
