Well, this is very difficult to get an ID for because not only are there many different types of Anthias, most of them look different depending on their gender. Essentially, you can double the choices based on looks alone. Check here for a list of "Anthias". It will take some time to go through them all, but you should be able to find it.

The price tag can help with ID. Like if it's a Bimac or something like that.
