ID this Anthias

[xxxbadfishxxx]

i want to say it looks like a lyertail, but she looks much bigger than any other lyertail i have seen, and much more of a light orange.

i want to get a few more for my 120, but wasnt sure if you could mix different types of Anthias, i have heard yes and no.

Thoughts?

looks like a female lyretail to me.

i have never tried multiple species of anthias, but i imagine it wouldnt work as ive seen how beligerant male lyretail anthias can be.

Sure looks like a female lyretail to me.
Colors will vary depending on where collected, indo or maldives are the two areas I'm aware of on them.
As for mixing w/ others, I've been told as long as they are a hearty species of anthias, such as bartletts, should be fine, a passive anthias may be badgered.
I have one lone anthias mixed w/ my lyretails(4fem 1 male) that I think is either Dispar or ignitus(still juvy, hard to tell) and they seem to get along just fine, and it's much smaller than the lyre's
