Anthias ID

Was told it is a pseudanthias kashiwae, but cannot match completely to other pics. I have 6 and they look completely identical.

Any diff. between male/female ? if yes, what sex do I have ?

Looks like a male kashiwae.

Ok, still do not think I can see the purple stripes mine has on the tail on other kashiwaes..

6 males then all in the dealer tank (25??) looked identical..

P. marcia?

I see the slight red blotch and the stripes on the base of the tail... Even the tail color (red back edge, lighter otherwise) looks right.

Pseudanthias marcia it is ! Mine even have the same elongation of the top part of tail. Color also matches (colors in my pic is off due to use of flash)
