Yes, it is Cirrhilabrus filamentosus, male, not a Paracheilinus. The male of the species has a single long filaments like some members of Paracheilinus.

keef, you're not stealing anything. I got my answer. Wrasses are exceptional and if these guys can help you out, then that makes this thread even better.
Good luck, swimmer

This is a male C. rubrimarginatus (ofetn misspelled rubromarginatus), 12 cm from Vanuatu. It has a pinkish zone on the back and this became light pink to whitish while the male is displaying (lower shot). Also the dorsal and caudal fins became pinkish, ventral fins blackish and pectoral fins orangish.
This shot should be posted to the Bronco's "fairy thread2. |
