Let Me ID Your Wrasse!

[eatbreakfast]

There are a few that have that kind of a stripe as a juvenile.

True, but it is mature enough to correctly id.

Pseudojuloides genus....wild guess, P. ceracinus...forget that it doesn't have a stripe as juvi/female.

I can see where you are coming frm with that, but alas, not Pseudojuloides cerasinus.

If you know it go for it. I don't think there are as many hobbyists pouring over fish pics as I would like to think.

My wrasse are in line for food :)

LFS didn't have an ID. They said it came from Africa.

Paracheilinus attenuatus, diamondtail flasher, that is a male. A very desirable species.

That is what I thought but I didn't think they'd have it in mixed wrasse tank for $40

On my way to that store...where did you say it was again? ;)

That one slipped through the cracks; it happens sometimes. They can get mixed in with McCoskers.

The others did look like McCoskers. I'm surprised the owner didn't pick them out. They have a good collection of higher end wrasses.

Diamond tails are going from 250- 500 at LFS up near boston... i wish i could find one for 40

IMO, any attenuatus on the current market over 300 is over priced.

Hi, this guy was labeled as a generic "Fairy Wrasse". Any idea on a species ID? Please let me know if you need a better pic.

Pic 1 is Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus and C. solorensis.

Pic 2 is C. rubrimarginatus and C. filamentosus.

And pic 3 is C. filamentosus.

Was sold to me as a McCosker Flasher but they weren't 100% sure.
