Help with Anthias ID - have picture

[Anonymous]

Is this a female Squarespot anthias or something else. It's hard for me to tell with the pictures I have. TIA

Without going thru my refrences ( sorry I'm feeling lazy today ) I would say with about 90% certainty that that is indeed a female P pleurotaenia ( Squareblock Anthias ) but don't feel bad Anthias are one of the tougher fish to ID.

David,
I was hoping you would say that. I purchased one believing it to be a female. He had them listed as a Yellow Lyretail Anthias. I can find no referece to them.

Now I need a male. Have had one on order since the beginning of June.
