Southern and False Fusilier same thing I believe (Bloody common Names) 

Both are Paracaesio xanthura.

I've never ever heard them called False in 33 years that I have been checking out fishes, however, seeing the scientific name it was instant Southern Fusilier in my mind. Fortunately, usually, there's only one scientific name.
