ID This New Fairy Wrasse, Free Beer to First Correct Answer!

Predictably, evolved won! Congrats to him!
Right, I already know what this is, but I wanted to see if you guys could figure it out. These fish are great, and rarely enter the hobby (speculated based on little online info/never seen one before), but are one of the best looking Cirrhilabrus out there. I'll post a hint and some care info on it each day. Good luck!



HINT 1: Its a fairy wrasse
HINT 2: The prefix of its latin name is the color in the common name
HINT 3: It shares a coloration trait with the blue throat trigger

 

Is it a Condes Fairy Wrasse?

 

Close, but not close enough!

 

A red stripe Fairy Wrasse?

Lobbock's Fairy Wrasse?

 

You give me 2 top down shots? Pfffft.

Based on the description and coloration, at least what I can see:

Cirrhilabrus earlei

How'd I do?

 

Again, you have a red wrasse, but it ain't the right red wrasse.

Sorry Evolved, I can't afford an earlei wrasse anyway.
Keep trying!

 

female flame?

 

I figured that would come up quick, it looks like we....don't have a winner!

 

My second thought, and certainly more affordable, would be:
Cirrhilabrus tonozukai

Another potential canadate (depending if your pockets are moderately deep ) would be:
Cirrhilabrus johnsoni

A picture of a red fairy wrasse is pretty generic. There's few I can rule out based on the longitudinal lines on top of it's head, but the only real clue I have to work on is: "rarely enter the hobby". You best not be lying

 

Also:

I could argue an earlei is the only Cirrhilabrus which satisfies that claim.
