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.

Evansi Anthias?
(Mirolabrichthys evansi)

Yellow top half (which also covers the entirety of the tail) and pink or purple lower half.

flying fish express has pics of a few different anthias. Also might look at www.fishbase.org They have quite a database.

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!
