I don't think so.
This has much more definite striping.

Thought it might be a pair of ventralis

 

[lazibonez]

definitely not ventralis

I am 99.5% sure its Tierra Anthias from the pics. Can I buy them?

I'm pretty sure it's not.
Picture is different, and every reference I see to tierra anthias has them from the Maldives.

These are from Hawaii. Different part of the world.

Yes, you can buy them. $125/pair

Love to ID them first.(maybe I can charge more....JK)

 

[D1J8Z]

they might look different being stressed out in a container... compaired to acclimated and relaxed

 

[REEF MANIA]

looks like a bicolor anthias

So, you were hoping they were ventralis so you can charge more... lol

But, you do have a valid argument on the origin of these fish.

Lets just call them dispars... I ll pay $30 for this pair. Thanks.. lol
