a bartletts anthias is of the anthias family it has yellow on top from head to tail and pink on side and bottom from gills to tail, a good book called marine fishes by scott micheal has lots of pics and a little briefing on each fish,..its been very helpful...

I have two anthias, mine are lyretail or warpaint anthias. Very nice fish! Although they have a reputation for being hard to take care of depending on which ones you get, they are also recommended for peaceful reef setups. They also seem to do better in groups with one male and a couple of females. I bought three and had two make it. They seem pretty hardy just make sure they are eating something besides live food, i had to ween mine over to frozen mysis. I probably should;ve waited longer to get them becuase i am new to the hobby, but at $7 a piece I figured it was a damn good deal. so far so good, they are my favorites in the tank!
