Is it the first Cirrhilabrus you are addiing to the 180? If so I would wait to add last of the wrasses if you really want it or return it. I would not add it first and then add others.
Unfortunately, order won't matter with filamentosus. It's a time bomb any way you slice it.
Dang. I was afraid you’d say that. I should have ID’d him before I bought him. The LFS sold him as a red (something) flasher wrasse..
I was going to add both the c. Filamentosus and McCoskers flasher to the tank. It looks like I’ll add the flasher, but take the other back.
Both this species and rebeus often get labeled as "flashers".
I’m guessing ( hoping) that either me or the LFS would have had a better shot with a correct ID if it was terminal.
Of course, but to a trained eye there are easy differences.
Yeah, agree. There's enough development there to make that call now.I know many fairy wrasses are hard to distinguish as juveniles and female , but my uneducated guess is a juvi Cirrhilabrus Brunneus.
The lack of pink on the body make it of the exquisitus group ranging from Indonesia Eastward. The fin coloring identify it as an Indonesian specimen.Can anybody help pinpoint the origin of my fish? Please give reason why. I think I can narrow it down to western Pacific. I would love to have a more specific, narrower region. TIA
Thanks TJ. I think he must come from around Bali also. Seem closest to the coloration of fish from there. This is a young male so color still changing.
Ruby head fairy, C. cf. cyanopleurawhat about this beauty?
Not a leopard, but a close cousin, Xenojulis margaritaceaus. It gets to about 4".This is not mine but I would like to know what kinda wrasse this is. Is it some sort of leopard wrasse, how large can it get, and is it Reef safe?
C. rubrimarginatusAny ideas on this juvenile?
Thanks
