[bonomo53]

Picked this guy up today not sure what type of anthias he is. Kinda looks like a lyretail anthias but has amazing colors. Does anyone know what he is? Thanks

It's definately not a Lyretail...It looks very simular to my male Randall's, but mine doesn't have a yellow dorsel...where did you get it from Mike at Tropical Island? I'll do some research for you..anyway here is a pic of mine..

I was going to say Dispar..

Beautiful fish.

I was going to say resplendent.

 

[MIKE NY]

definitely not a Dispar..I was thinking Resplendent myself because of the the yellow dorsel. I haven't seen them in our area in awhile, but have been seeing some Randall's recently. I could be wrong because when smaller they both look almost alike until adulthood...you'll know for sure in about a year or so....LOL either way it's a beautiful fish the best of luck with it....
