The most beautiful reef-safe wrasse is the epitome of beauty in a saltwater aquarium. But which one is it?

For me it’s unobtanium due to price but the Blue Stripe Tamarin

Just got a Rosey Scale, though I thought it was called Ruby head. Any how such a pretty wrasse addition

This is why the wrasse nerds use the scientific names

Actually, if we’re being specific - these common names were used for Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis which is now thought to look nothing like these guys and instead to look more like the Vibranium Fairy Wrasse (C. wakanda).
These new wrasses that used to be called C. rubriquamis (and still are until we can find more type localities of C. rubrisquamis) are now called C. finifenmaa which is given the common name of the Rose Veiled Fairy Wrasse.

So hard to choose! I agree the diamond tail flasher is one of the nicest... but there's so many beautiful wrasses!

Diamond tail flasher and Johnson's Fairy

Nahacky's Fairy

Earmuff wrasse

Radiant wrasse

Splendid pencil wrasse

So hard to choose is right!! These are all so beautiful!!
