Fairy wrasse ID please!

[Wings6010]

I purchased this wrasse from a store down in Miami a few days ago, I was told it was a black spot fairy wrasse.. To me this looks like a pyle's or lineatus, are there any wrasse gurus out there that can give me a ID!?

Looks lineatus to me.

I think it's a Cebu Pylei because of the black dot on top dorsal fin.

Nice fish!

@ZoaCollector @3FordFamily the black spot really makes me think pylei, but the yellow on the tail and blue lining all over the body and fins points me to lineatus

@lauderdalestunner thank you!

 

[ZoaCollector]

This is a Pylei Cebu variant

 

[4FordFamily]

The stripe does look pylei

I agree hopefully he doesn't get to aggressive with the rhomboid and Scott's

 

[ZoaCollector]

Scott's are usually the aggressive ones ;)

It is the Cebu pylei, Cirrhilabrus cf. pylei. The spot on the dorsal, black margin on the caudal, as well as length of the ventrals are the identifiers.

They are on the aggressive side, though not as bad as scotts.

Agree and agree...
