Randall's or Resplendent Anthias???

[roktsintst]

So, a few months ago I ordered 5 Resplendent Anthias from BZ. They did great for me and are still doing awesome. They are beautiful and fully colored, however, they dont look exactly like the pictures of the Resplendents i've seen pictures of. I finally got some decent pictures of my anthias and I want to see what you guys think... Are these Resplendent or Randalls Anthias???

I have some resplendent and I don't think mine has the top lip like that...

Cam all mine look like that. But maybe they are all male, but i doubt that... Hmmm... I just dont know. I look at the pictures of other resplendents and they have a solid redish color to their body and red trim on their pectoral fins. Mine dont have that.... Any other thoughts?

OneReef, can you please post some pictures of your resplendents so we can compare?

This is the best pic I could find on my computer since my lights are out right now. One male and a female.

Hmmm... Man these fish are really similar. If I order more, I think i either want more of what i have or some sunsets...

So do your Resplendents pinkish body fade to yellow towards the dorsal fin with a kind of metalic hue?
