That is not a straight picture side way. The position of the pelvic fins tell me that the picture is taken from the side but also in front.
I do think it is a male. But I think he is very thin with obvious pinched dorsal area. Unless he is really eating well, I would not get him because he is so thin.

Both are gaining weight and are very healthy, good eater. They mainly eat aiptasia now , and other fauna in the tank. I only occasionally feed them now.
