Good idea, Gary, since ID can be a pain sometimes.
Female Lyretail anthias (Pseudanthias squamipinnis):  Male Lyretail anthias (color changed from female to male in captivity) from the Maldives, with and without camera flash:  Dispar anthias (Pseudanthias dispar), female. Ignore the flasher wrasse in the back  : Same dispar anthias, changed to male coloration in captivity, again with and without camera flash:  Female bartlett anthias (Pseudanthias bartlettorum), low camera exposure and no flash increases orange appearance:  Same female bartlett anthias, with camera flash:

Excellent idea Gary!
Here's a few I could offer up... Pseudanthias bimaculatus male  Pseudanthias bimaculatus female  Pair together  Pseudanthias fasciatus... no noticable color differences except males get larger and show more color...   These are not mine, but I'm working on getting some... I photographed these in about 130 feet of water off the coast of the island of Niihau in Hawaii... they are endemic to Hawaii, and carry the appropriate Pseudanthias hawaiiensis name... Male on the bottom of this shot...  Male on the right here, you could see the difference in color bwteen the two males...

Nice pics as always John! The male Pseudanthias hawaiiensis looks like it has a unigue head structure/profile. Is this an individual thing or common to males of the species?

Good pickup... hmmm... Those are two separate males I photographed that showed it, and here is a Bishop Museum shot that sort of shows it. Maybe it's common with very mature males... There are shots of males that don't show it, but they seem smaller... I would have got more shots of them if the divemaster wasn't so ****ed I dropped so deep to photograph them... I'll updated when I actually get some specimens of these guys...

time to show off my late great ignitus, of which i will be getting 8 more, im down to only one
here are of the females    the male, who was almost completely changed until the hawkfish killed him  group pictures     here is one of them displaying i believe, the colors on the male are/were INCREDIBLE in person, the body is a bright orange with a bright yellow underbelly, the dorsal fin is fushia with yellow along the body edge and a blue edge on the top, the tail in turns the same fushia color with a bright yellow center, and there is a red stripe along the cheek with a red dot at the base of the pectoral fins

i've had them 5-6 months.. the more dominant one has started changing color pattern, i suspect turning into a male... i'll have to try to get some newer pics of him, there's a big difference between them... they hide in the rock alot, but i've added 2 hi-fin cardinals to the tank with them and the "male" seems to venture out a bit more... lisa
