Anthias ID

[racer69]

I am trying to save these guys from the LFS, and would like to get a positive id. I think they are either Bartletts or evansi's. The were sold as Purple Queens, but I don't think that is right.

Purple queen or amethyst anthias...rather difficult to keep..some have had success with large tanks....various food trials. I think mantisagogo (old screen name) has one, doing well. It's the minority though. Good luck

Pseudanthias tuka (2 females)

Might be able to get them to start feeding with live baby brine and then slowly wean them on to other foods.

Could they be carberryi? Here is a pic from the marine center.
