I know it's a fairy wrasse but what one if any??

Looks like my temmincki wrasse

 

[xraided199]

KIND of looks like my blue-sided fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura is im not wrong), but not exactly. and its kinda funny, cuz like dcopeland said, it looks like his too, and its so common to have three of the same species of fairies next to each other and each of them has their own characteristics. and i mean even besides being male vs female. terminal or super male is diff than a male, and even two reg males will have variations. its amazing.

it does actually look like a temminicki as well, because in the third pic the top fin is slightly diff than my blue sided. its very nice tho, and i love the pics!

I will get better ones soon he just doesn't hold still!

it is not a temminckii but its a fine spotted c. punctatus which are closely related and it is a ausie varient.. ..there are tons of color varients on these guys and some often get confused or labeled as temminckii..mostly the ones out of Vanuatu

this is two varients that i kept starting with the one out of Vanuatu some times called the port villa wrasse..i will have to dig up some other pics i kept one like yours and another color varient
