Hi everyone!

Can anyone help me identify my wrasse species?



I originally was told it was a female peacock flasher - Paracheilinus cyaneus. However, it’s size and coloration leads me to believe it is actually a peacock fairy wrasse - Cirrhilabrus temminckii.

I’ve observed some aggression towards my blue star leopards which I captured in the video. I may need to move the fairy/ flasher into another tank if that aggression progresses.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
