beginning to think I don't have carberryi anthias
So I saw this picture today on liveaquaria's site and it looks exactly like my anthias which I thought was a male. I ordered 3 carberryi anthias from liveaquaria but it definitely looks more like this fish they recently added..
Evansi Anthias (Mirolabrichthys evansi) here's mine: what I thought to be Carberryi Anthias (Nemanthias carberryi) and the other 2 look like this what do you think?

I think you're right. Carberryis (at least my trio) have an obvious diagonal yellow stripe just below the eye and the yellow does not extend the full length of the dorsal area. I'm sure yours are Evans. Both are beautiful fish, but I think the Evans may get a bit bigger.

awesome because it definitely says this on the bottom of the page...
"The Evansi Anthias can be difficult to maintain and is not appropriate for the inexperienced aquarist." I just hope I can get them all to eat pellets so they have a fair chance! This is my first tank!! says they are moderate-difficult. So far, just the male looks thin and doesn't eat with much enthusiasm, but the 2 females are ok. any other thoughts?

If they are Evansi they love nutramar ova and cyclopeeze. However you may just have that particular color variation of carberyii. I doubt that you will get them to eat pellets, however.

Carberryis will mimic evansi in certain locales. First pic is P.evansi and the other two are N. carberryi.

That being said, what will the hierarchy look like? Who will become male? will my biggest female carberryi become male? This could be interesting...
