How 'bout a pair of Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis

I'm not sure about this one but I thought it was a Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis. It was hard to tell at the store, It was to good of a deal to pass on though

No, I got that one at Exotic. I went by Ost, but nothing caught my eye.

nice blue flasher there.

It's actually a line spot flasher. Blues have a lunate tail.

SDguy, here is a shot from mine this morning. The blue flasher is the closest I've seen even looking in Rudi's book. The tail on mine is square and the picture from LA has streamers. Maybe they will develop over time. I am still learning.
