Mystery "tall, short-bodied" anthias


Looks like a compressed anthias, doesn’t it?

Here we have what appears to be an unidentified serranid with an uncommon laterally flattened body form.  Notable features include a pale white/magenta eyestripe, polka dots throughout the entire dorsal and anal fins, magenta outline for all its fins (including its emarginate caudal fin), and three indistinct light, broad stripes towards the anterior of its body.
