Hello all,

I recently added a group of 5 pseudanthias cooperi (flame basslet) but all pics online have them colouring into a greenish hue.

I was just wondering if I could get an ID of these guys and whether I can add more further down the track?

Cheers in advance

Those are cooperi. The greenish hue in pics online is males in display.

How big is your tank? They are very rough with each other. I would not add more unless the tank is huge.

Yes, green tinge only on males. Not like hutchi which are much greener.
