Not an expert on anthias but looks like a Pseudanthias luzonensis to me.

I cant tell from pic but are their very faint yellow/blue lines on the face?

Female pulcherrimus for my money.

You can just see it in the pic, more subdued than photos of wild fish but then the whole colouration is more subdued than in the wild.

That fishbase pic only shows a single specimen though, compared to Kuiter's anthias volume which shows several in very high quality.
