I have a pair of red saddle anthias like the image above (not my image) and noticed that they didn't look like a typical red saddle anthias below (also not my image)

the bottom image has a much more prominent yellow crown and no yellow at the bottom of the caudal fin like the image above it
I was just wondering if these are the same species or just a local variation in colouration
Thanks in advance

Could be angle and lighting as well. When I had my harem, they were iridescent with the yellow, and would gain yellow depending on angle.

There are a few similar species to flavoguttatus, Lori and Aurulentus. Could also just be individual differences. Not an easy fish to keep though. Mine did ok in a 'calm' tank but not in my main display.

Hi friend! , could you tell me how long did you keep them alive for? Did they feed well ? Thanks, Franc
