Let Me ID Your Wrasse!

[OrionN]

Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus, Red-margin Fairy wrasse

 

[pk_hk]

Ordered in a lineautus and got this guy, any ideas?

Looks like Pink Margin.

 

[evolved]

Yup, C. rubrimarginatus

 

[PmCarbrey]

Well, atleast it's sort of close I guess. I'll probably keep this guy instead of the lineatus

 

[PmCarbrey]

One last ID before I leave the store, looks similar to the rubripinnis but has a blue streak down the side and blue on the dorsal

Wow, that's not even close. I wouldn't be pleased and would insist on getting what I ordered.

That's C. temminckii

X2.....and the big price difference.

 

[OrionN]

I would ask for a refund the full amount including shipping.

I ordered it transhipped in, cost $18, I really cant complain.

 

[scchase]

I would take one at that price about 1/6 of retail.

For sure, a C. rubrimarginatus usually is about $190 on LA/DD. They are in the same complex with lineatus.

Yeah, I'll stick with the rubrimarginatus assuming he makes it through quarantine. The one down side to transhipping is no guarantees on health or anything else. Good new is he is eating like a pig, even taking flake.

Much obliged

Yup, and female FWIW.

 

[PmCarbrey]

Is this H claudia or H ornatissimus? I've never been able to tell them apart
