Hmmn, Pictillis maybe ...... they are moderate, but get quite large.

There are multiple types in there. But the pinkish ones look kind of like tricolors. They aren't pictillis though.

Thought about tricolors - don't think so though.

They look like a species that have been coming in recent years as P. Marcia. I had a few of them.

They used to come in from Sri Lanka orders here in FL. I had 5 at one point...I paid 15$ each from a store that didn't know what they were! They came in on the orders as Tricolor. One book described them as a undiscribed species. Mine ate like pigs everything I put in the tank including pellets but they didn't live very long. less then 2 years and they all died off. Neat fish though. Every night they would do the mating dance! Beautiful fish, a tad on the aggressive side as far as anthias go. They came in 2 different orders and were never on the order sheet again according to the store owner.
