What kind of Anthias is this?

[sssquake]

Hi, I got 2 of these Anthias at a bag sale and was doing very well. I mean I nurture these 2 fish like it was my babies. But one of them jumped out and fell in the back of the aquarium and died . What kind of Anthias is this? And if anyone know which lfs has it, please let me know thanks!

Looks like a lavender Dispar Anthias to me.

when he is directly under mh 10k. He is orange color. It is small like 3 inches.

I wonder if that's a Dispar because of the purple dorsal fin - my Bartlett's, as well as most pictures I've seen, have mostly yellow dorsal fins.

Tough to [lay with anthias. Some species vary grealty from region to region. I've never seen a dispar quite like that one. The only ones I have ever seen have very little yellow.
