    Anthias name

    Several months ago while visiting a different LFS, I happened to notice a really beautiful anthias species. Unfortunately, I didn't think I'd ever be seriously thinking about getting these fish, so I didn't bother to write it down. But... as everyone who is really into this hobby knows, the madness keeps growing. So my question is:

    Can anyone give me the name of this fish? I haven't found it on any major MO website. I know that the common name starts with an "e" and I think it has a couple of "i"s somewhere. (Erickii? Evanskii? I can't remember!) It is primarily yellow and pink, feathery fins, and more rounded than some of the anthias I have seen.

    And if anyone out there is familiar with this fish, are there any special issues to be aware of?

    Thanks in advance.

    flying fish express has pics of a few different anthias. Also might look at www.fishbase.org They have quite a database.
    In this hobby patience is not a virtue,,,,,its mandatory.

    Thanks! I am pretty sure I was looking for the name Pseudoanthias evansi. That's a great database. Just curious about the different genus name Mirolabrichthys - is this this same fish? (Taxonony gets tricky when there is a debatable subject.)

    Thanks again!
