I wouldn’t say it’s a blue but more so a Paracheilinus lineopunctatus which is equally as beautiful :)

If you were looking for the most beautiful reef sage erase for a 75 gallon display tank what would you get
It’s hard to choose just one, you’d need Atleast 5!

However if you’re limited to just one I’d have to say a Cirrhilabrus finifenmaa or Cirrhilabrus naokoae.
The colouring in both wrasses is incredibly nice (Top: finifenmaa, Bottom: naokoae)

It’s hard to tell what shape the tail fin is. Either way it’s a great find.

Cirrhilabrus flavidorsalis
I wonder who brought that species onto your radar ;)

Now I just need to own/care for a Cenderwasih, Wallindi and Marjorie then I’ll have cared for that whole complex.

You can only pick one. Fish can’t be two different lol.
Going by the photo with the rhomboid looks oldish I’ll assume it’s a female jordani

If you need a photographer who can take an action shot I may not be a mermaid but who needs a fish tail when youve got this? ;)
