Anthias ID?

Looks like a Lyretail, and acts like one too, but the coloration is off. Could it be a female turning into a male? The thing is, she/he has been stuck in duo-gender mode for nearly two years now.

Could it just be a lyretail from a different region?

Thanks!
 
it is a male lyre tail. A few months ago I ran out of cyclopeze for a while and ended not buying anymore for quite a while. Long story short my bright purple male turned a pale dull pink just like yours. Now I'm feeding him tons of cyclopeze and minced krill and his color is coming back real nice.

mine looked like that when I first got him..as mentioned a good diet and a couple of females will bring the color back...
