axanthic=no yellow pigments,i think they're called xanthophils (sp.?)
anerythristic=no red pigment

Thats the standard explnation but the problem is a florida king has reds and yellows. Dr. Bechtel said the two terms can actually be used interchangably. With the florida king axanthic and anery the designation is more of use to differentiate between the two lines.

Neither has yellow nor red showing in their forms.

That's an awesome picture.

Same gene/allele?
IE - would crossing the lines result in no yellow/red?
