Pseudanthias huchti
Balicasag Island near Bohol is an excellent place to see "clouds" of Anthias over the coral reef. I am not sure of the species but according to the photos in my guide these may be threadfin anthias. The males show a lavender-gray to yellowish color with a bright red stripe from eye to pectoral fin base. Also have a red border in the ventral fins. The females are dull or greenish yellow with brighter yellow borders on tail. The groups usually contain more females than males.
Outcroppings of clear outer reef slopes in 4-20 m. Asian Pacific.
the little blue fishes on the background are Chromis viridis. http://www.amazon.com/Reef-Fish-Identifi...
