my h. biocellatus was completely intolerant of my p. cerasinus :(

This one is living in with a Centropyge argi, a Synchiropus picturatus and (possibly) a Priolepis nocturna that I only see once every six months or so. The cherub has attempted to push the P. cerasinus around, but the wrasse acts as though he doesn't even see the angel.

My biggest concern is that the wrasse might out compete the dragonet, but the tank is well established and has a very productive refugium, and the wrasse, though a pig, is quite happy to eat frozen foods.

Hello all, I just purchased this Cirrhilabrus Walindi off divers den. Although I was not aware they were being imported to the US? Also I’m fairly certain it is indeed a juvenile Walindi but just confirmation would be much appreciated.

You can't tell female species of the complex apart I'm afraid - it's a matter of where they're collected from.
DD has had them occasionally before - I would trust them on this one.

From what I read, the females of this group (the Lubbocki group) are indistinguishable from each other as per Lemon TYK on Reefbuilders.com
"Females of all six species are uniformly pink with a single caudal peduncular spot, and are indistinguishable from each other. Successful identification of females can be carried out based on contextual clues, such as the presence of males or by provision of the geographical range."

I need help identifying this wrasse. They don't make the best candidates for photography sometimes. If a clearer image is needed, I'll grab another shot.

I believe it’s halichoeres nebulosus. Evolved will reply with a positive ID.
