@Richie Yes, I meant M. Evansi. (Does the name change? I thought P. Evansi.)
The reefer listed up all fish names in his fish tank. What he has for anthias are Serranocirrhitus latus, Odontanthias borbonius, P. huchtii, M. evansi and P. tuka. So, it might be because of the video and lighting.

@Taka Thanks. Do you mean M. Evansi (Microlabrichthys evansi).

I believe they are a female M. Evansi, just with very little pink coloring. Not sure if that’s just the video though.

I just watched it again (2nd video that is) and it does appear to be just a camera artifact that they’re so white. If you watch the one higher up at ~1:00 looks pretty white then turns at about 1:03 and looks pink.

Is this the music people think of when they see the reef?

I would go crazy if this played through my head every time I saw a fish.

He has P. huchtii, P. evansi and P. tuka. So it should be one of them.

Right at 1:00 there’s some white bodied and yellow topped/tailed fish which I’d guess are anthias. Could someone id those particular fish?

I tried following the link and while the first page had some awesome pictures, I know 0 Japanese so I can’t really navigate around.
