Rare Fish ID needed

[baytran7]

This fish was labeled as a Anthias Mimic Grouper, it came in from the supplier as an anthias. Noone has been able to ID this fish including myself through Scott Michaels books, Google, Yahoo, etc. Let's see if anyone on this board can dig up anything.

Definetly a Paranthias colonus, the Pacific Creolefish...

Looks like it to me too; I never saw one;but did a Google image on the scientific name. Anthias Mimic Grouper is a good name, looks like both kinds of fish.

The only name I've ever seen for that fish is the Anthias Mimic Grouper

Just wondering, how much did you get it for?

To me it looks like a Gracila albomarginata but the common name I have seen for that fish in books is the Window grouper.
