Anthias Identification

[seffieuk]

saw some lovely Anthias in my lfs - they were describing them as scribble anthias and didn't seem to know their correct name, stupidly I didn't take a photo of them and I can't seem to find any anthias described as 'scribble'. The females where mostly pink but with a top line of yellow/orange but with what can only be described as a scribble pattern on their heads and along their back, the male was gorgeous, with pink, orange, yellow and blue and this scribble pattern again on the head etc.

I don't really know much about anthias, except that i want some for my five footer, but I know some are difficult to keep so really want to know what I am buying before I put the credit card in the machine

Anyone got any ideas?
