Fish ID from dive?

Hi, I went to Zanzibar - Africa a few years ago and I remembered some fish from my dives.

I remember a Green colored Anthias that looked like a Lyretail that looked badass up close but meh from a distance. They were usually in smaller groups and near Lyretails and about 1/10 as common. Pseudanthias huchtii is what I get when I google "green anthias" but that doesn't look green. Does it look green in person? I can't find a pic from my trip. Maybe it's this greenish colored fish in this image... but I think I remember the males looked like male lyretails with spots on their pectorals. Does anyone know what anthias I'm looking for? or what the green fish is in this image?

Cool thx! Know if they look green under most of our reef lights? I don't really see any images online of it appearing green. Fishbase doesn't mention Huchtii off of E africa... but I'm guessing E africa isn't well documented

Although I have kept many species of pseudoanthias, Hutchii has not been among them, sorry. When I have seen them at LFS, they've always looked rather drab so looking never turned to buying. Plus, the Franzia grouping are just too chippy for my liking.
 
Looking at your photos on a bigger screen, green fish actually look like fusiliar damsels. Never seen the for sale ..... that I can recall.
