Meh, same thing.
Just color morphs.Good catch actually. This tank had several "dispar" females to start with and then as they matured some were obviously ignitus and some were obviously dispar. I obviously didn't look very closely at the photo! I always look at the lower rear portion of the dorsal fin in males to distinguish them. In ignitus it is yellowish green. What characteristics of the face indicates to you the one above was dispar?
Here's another that *I think* is ignitus...

No, but this was also a 250g tank, and they were only in it for about a year. Started as juvies, 9 total. They grew big and fast and then got moved to a much much larger tank. In our big tank they definitely carve out territories as adults and those territories are pretty large.

Very nice guys. Those Sunsets are incredible. You've got me thinking about adding a few!
So here are what i believe to be Resplendents. I really love them! I'll be adding 6-10 more in the future...
Now I have 3 males to my 1 female!

They're either resplendents or randall's. I always forget the distinguishing characteristics between the sister species.
Here's one of the males from my tank. They like to chase each other so lots of females and space will go a long way...

Yah. Chuck Delbeek took the photo. I make fish look pretty but usually use a camera phone to take a picture of them. Fortunately my coworkers are good photographers.

The lady at the fishstore didn't know what she had. They received probably 15 different anthias of different species (or genus?). These 4 were in one tank and I bought them as a group. She charged me for ignitus anthias but at least one looks clearly like a maldives lyretail male.
Please help me with recommendations for treatment while in quarantine. I love these guys and want to get them through QT and into the DT as safe as possible.
This one is the larger one with prominent scales and botches on his pectoral fins
This one is a smaller one but looks male. He gets picked on by the bigger one
Here's a female with the smaller male(?)
Poor females look like they're losing color. They also fight like females
occsionally with biting and hair pulling.

Nice score.

You've got at least 3 species there. The two males are P. squaminpinnis/cheirospilos and P. randalli/pulcherrimus, and the females appear to be P. dispar/ignitus.
