Most of the C. solorensis I’ve seen have been C. aquamarinus, C. chalasai is the only one of the three that I have rarely seen.I guess all the S. solorenisis we ID in the reef keeping community is now renamed as S. aquamarinus. Mine is a very beautiful and docile Wrasse. Long live, in comparison to other fairy and Flasher wrasses.
That is the Cirrhilabrus aquamarinus, this is the one that is easiest to ID, the other two look very similar.So which one is this one?
Seems like we hear so much about them being not very nice. Well at least more aggressive than some. So pretty!!….I guess all the S. solorenisis we ID in the reef keeping community is now renamed as S. aquamarinus. Mine is a very beautiful and docile Wrasse.

Yeah. Looking at this pic the ones I’ve seen labeled for sale as solorensis are for sure aquamarinus. Much different coloration.That is the Cirrhilabrus aquamarinus, this is the one that is easiest to ID, the other two look very similar.
Here’s all 9 Species in the Cyanopleura complex.
Such a shame to hear about that…Well, last night was a bad night for Lubbock's fairy wrasses apparently. My male cebu lubbocks who has been doing amazing managed to get out of the tiny hole I forgot to cover back up after feeding the tank, and was completely dried out crispy on the lid, and the new indo lubbocks was dead in quarantine. No idea what happened, no signs of disease or aggression.
Yeah, the cebu loved to display and chase around the Lyretail damsels. He was the tank boss.Such a shame to hear about that…
Lubbocki’s will jump if given a reason, my two jump atleast once a night when displaying (my biggest reason for wanting a deeper tank).
As for the Indo, it may have been the way he was collected as many Indonesian species are still collected by Cyanide.
A new species of flasher wrasse was discovered a few days ago. Check this beauty out!
No name yet. It was just discovered a few days ago by Brian D. Greene in American Samoa.Ooo!
What’s it scientific?
and do we know if it’ll be on any lists any time soon? Those colours are stunning.
Nice, wonder if we’ll get a Paracheilinus briangreenei ontop of the Cirrhilabrus briangreenei.No name yet. It was just discovered a few days ago by Brian D. Greene in American Samoa.
As if it’s not confusing enough. Lol.Nice, wonder if we’ll get a Paracheilinus briangreenei ontop of the Cirrhilabrus briangreenei.
For now, I guess we get the fun game of guess the name.
Just you wait till you go into the other genera haha, then you’ll think of that as child’s playAs if it’s not confusing enough. Lol.
I resemble that remark
