Squampinnis anthias mix?

[originalozzyo]

I recently bought a couple more anthias to add to the four I already have. All are squampinni lyretail when I saw them at the store. When I added my two new ones in the weekend one isn't quite the same. Its very subtle differences, not as much orange, no large scales but almost smooth or very small scales. Still has the bright blue eye and purple line down the cheek but faint. The top fin along its back has a purple tint to it and the nose has a little bit of the curved up too like a bartletts anthias. Anyone have any ideas or is this some kind of random mix possibly? Will try and add pictures, typing this on an Android

Pics don't show everything. The eyes and cheek stripe are identical, and it schools with the other fish

hutchi?

commented before seeing the pic...my vote is dispar, def not a squamapin

Cheek stripe and eye color are common across many pseudoanthias species. Hard to tell from the photo, could be dispar, Ignacio's or even carberryi.

carberryi.

Carberryi (female transitioning with the yellow on the tail?) seems likely based on comparison to those in my tank.

I'm going to take a proper photo with my slr and post it. Can't see any detail using a phone

Lyretails look different from different parts of their range. I cannot tell from the pic either, sorry.

I think the most telling attribute is the deeply forked tail with strong yellow coloration in this case, but I look forward to additional photos.

Bartlett's is the other one that springs to mind.
