Genicanthus caudovittatus!!

one of the 3 genicanthus i'm looking for. i've got to say the female is absolutely stunning in real life. it's snow white and the unpaired fins are tinged in a very very pale blue. gorgeous.

male is nice but i prefer the female in this case.

no photos of mine but here's what my pair looks like.... from the internet.

A bit ex but v worth it, so many rare, interesting and beautiful wrasses. Tks for sharing it w us.

alot of very rare wrasses that i've not seen and heard of before.

i'm now taking the time to read and learn. can borrow if you want.

very worth it IMO... the money spent on this is much better than buying some stupid fish that may die.

will post pics here later

some interesting things to note re wrasses.

Coris gaimad (the clown wrasse)is in it's own genus now aka Allocoris.

whic means all the clown wrasse complex, including C. formosa, is no longer in Coris.

the australian scott's fairy wrasse is now regarded a new species. it's DNA is different from the regular scott fairy and is now not regarded as a geographical variant. it's now Cirrhilabrus cf. scottorum

likely the same for all exquisite wrasse variants. however this one not confirmed yet.

Cirrhilabrus temmincki is endemic to japan only. all the "temmincki" we see in LFS, is not the real one. it's an unidentified sp known as Cirrhilabrus cf. temmincki. part of the temminckii complex.

the REAL Cirrhilabrus temminckii, a japan endemic. male and female

all others we see in our country are fakes. they are a new undescribed species lumped in the same complex

blood stained fairy wrasse.

Cirrhilabrus sanguineus

this was originally about to be described by randall. however, cornic stole the information and published it in his small book as C. sanguineus.

Randall was not credited and thus, he did not have the rights to name it. cornic named it sanguineus.

once a name has been placed, it cannot be changed. unless it has to be moved to a different genus etc.
