Please help me identify this Anthias

[TaNuki]

So when I bought this anthias, I was told it was a red fairy/ tricolor anthias.

I bought two that day and they both look the same. Later I bought 2 more online which were supposed to be the same type of fish, but the colors looked very different. So now I am wondering which is which?

This first picture shows the ones I bought at my LFS. It is the pink anthias, very fuzzy shot, but the first shot I could get of it that really showed how yellow the rear half is.

Here is the other fish. Notice how it is just kind of pink with a lot of white on the belly. The white really doesn't blend into the pink at all, seems rather abrupt. Are they the same type of fish?

Looks like that P. marcia lookalike.

The bottom one looks different from a tri color right?

Here is another shot of the bottom anthias, when it is showing its dominant color. It has a red area, but is not the same as like the square anthias.

pseudanthias rubrizonatus?

...it does look like a red-belted and they are also known as tri-colors

could be Pseudanthias rubrizonatus or Pseudanthias cf marcia.

No it doesnt have yellow. The one in the first pic has yellow, but the bigger one in the other shots is all pink and white.
