The other one is a yet to be described species often affectionally known as the "pintail" or "splendid" fairy wrasse. It's very similar to Cirrhilabrus lanceolatus, and is often conferred to it. Thus the temporary scientific name, Cirrhilabrus cf. lanceolatus.

The pintail is nice as always. One day i really hope to see it in our cebu shipments!

In the pic also can see the v rare guyanensis butterfly.

I have also posted these pics before.

Very beautiful hybrid lemonpeels from SRS Vanuatu. SRS Vanuatu is a supplier supplying Vanuatu fishes. Iwarna's vanuatu supplier is SRS Vanuatu.

but we've not seen these in a long long long time.

The last lemonpeel hybrid is gorgeous.

here's a video digiman posted before on C. katoi.

two males in the wild flashing at each other. insane

Amazing Katoi. But the surrounding water looks cold. Japan fishes are all challenging cos they comes from cooler water.

interesting u mention that.

someone on RC just asked me if there is such thing as any cold water cirrhilabrus.

i told him i honestly do not know. but i assume katoi and lanceolatus require cool water since they're from japan. but i said i dont know coz i've never kept one and almost no one except koji wada has kept one. so i can't say on their ability to adapt.

but all cirrhilabrus regularly offered to the trade can adapt to warmer tropical temperature around 27-28C.

i also said maaaybe the super deep water ones like blatteus and claire may also need cooler water. but then again no one knows coz no one has ever seen them before in the wild, much less in the trade.

Joculator win over bicolor because it is more beautiful, more reefsafe, stay smaller and more hardy!

The only downside is it's expensive, costs 50 times tat of a bicolor.

Ok i got my facts wrong. Elongatus anthias is actually a deepwater and rare anthias to get from Japan. A lot of japan stocklist will list this fish cheap but actually cannot get. Like rubrolineatus anthias it is deepwater and NEEDS low temp to survive.

This juvenile below was selling at S$2k in Japan!!! It costs so expensive as it's a juvenile. Adults are slightly cheaper.

The juvenile above will grow into a big female below (females are nicer than males for elongatus):

the one you pictured is a male.

the light yellow one behind is female.

when the male is displaying to the female, it will change colour to this. anthias can "flash" like fairy wrasses when displaying.

this may look like the normal cheap common chromis,

but it's not. it;s one of the rarest chromis in the world.

it's endemic to only ONE island in the marquesas, the island of Fatu Hiva.

It's chromis fatuhivae

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      I never thought I'd see a penny of my stolen bitcoin again. I had invested over $150,000 in bitcoin back when it was still relatively new and unknown. As the price skyrocketed over the years, my investment grew to be worth over $400,000. One day I went to check my wallet and to my horror, the entire balance had been transferred out. My heart sank realizing all those years of watching my investment grow had been wiped away in an instant by some hacker. I frantically searched online for any way to recover stolen cryptocurrency. Most advice said there was nothing I could do if the thief took proper precautions with the private keys. Then I came across Wizard web recovery - a new web service that claims to use advanced statistical analysis to track stolen bitcoin as it gets passed around different wallets. I was skeptical but filled out their online form, explaining when and how my bitcoin was stolen. A few days later I received an email from a Wizard web recovery analyst. They had traced my stolen bitcoin to a popular exchange where the thief had cashed out. By contacting the exchange, they were able to recover my bitcoin! I was stunned. I truly never thought I'd see that money again. Thanks to Wizard web recovery brilliant web tracking, I got back every last satoshi of my $150,000 in stolen bitcoin. It was an incredible feeling to have what I thought was lost forever returned in the blink of an eye by these blockchain recovery specialists via: wizard web recovery (@) programmer(.) net
