Taiwan reef - Protomelas sp. Seteveni Taiwan - is there any chance for male?

Hi
I am almost sure its a female but I decide to double check that with you guys.
I have this fish for almost a year, and its size is 5inches. I saw few times when this fish try to “dance” with my sulphur head hap. This fish behaviour is a bit different then my other males, she never really taking part in that “domination game” in ta tank.
Im asking because it have pointed anal fin and looks like its turning yellow.

Looks like a "Male". If you have other mature Tiawan Reef males, the pictured male is a subordinate. Females typically remain silver w/ black stripes. Might have a little red coloration on the fins & doesn't have a blue face. Here is a pic of a pretty female TR I once kept.

Oh, that would be a great news. I dont have any other taiwan reef and from almost 2 months Im keeping this fish in a grow out tank. He, eureka, fryeri and strawberry peacock are the biggest fishes in this tank.

Tiawan Reefs are late bloomers. He is coloring up fast as compared to most.
