Dispar Anthia. Or some sort. They need to be kept in School with themselves or they can live in Chromis Shoals. But MUST be in a shoal.

Correct me if i am wrong.

It is indeed an anthias/pseudoanthias genus fish. Not a Dispar though, they have a different color pattern, more yellow as opposed to orange.

 

[Ehudd]

should have known, its a lyretail anthia. They are not to much different as Juviniles.
Pseudanthias squampinnis

Yep thanks lads, found him under Lyretail Anthia.

from my experience anthia's are really moody. One day they will be plump, the next skinny. I had 6 and they all died. They ate but i think they need a constant sorce of food, like tangs. I am not to sure, but i didnt have any luck with them. They need to be in groups btw
