    Default Anthias - but not as we know them

    These were purchased as Squamipinnis Anthias. Sorry for the quality of the pics. They wouldn,t sit still lol.
    They dont look like conventional squamipinnis (goldfish) The pictures are of the females . The male is whitish in the body with distinct pink/purple tail fin and bright red blotches on the pectorals. However, they all have the typical orangey red stripe which extends from the eye to the gill plate as in conventional Squims.
    Any ideas anyone of what they could be.
