But in your case i would not worry. Anthias are hermethrodites (spelling :s), they may have been a mated pair but then the female may have decided to become a male.
Elongated Dorsal fins are only with males. | I concur with his statement, these fish are sometimes hard to keep. They need alot of swimming space and need to be fed several times a day. A 55 is the min. size tank that they need. Good luck with them and we're waiting for the pics.
