Its body shape looks almost exactly like one called either a cooper's or redbar anthias, except that the one in the book is kinda a consistant reddish orange - but it is a male too. Don't know if the female is yellow like your pic?

Definitely not Cooper's.

Thanks everyone. She appears to be a female Pseudanthias pleurotaenia as the picture provided by Mr. Majchrzak looks exactly like her.

On a side note: Mr. Majchrzak I'll be moving back to NYC within a month, and was planning a trip to all the famous tanks in NY such as JBNY's, PaulB's etc should they allow it. Any chance I could add your TOTM to the list?
