I've been looking for info, but I'm not 100% on this guy:
Listed as "Fairy Wrasse" @ the LFS

I need a better picture or more pictures to be certain, but right now from what I can see it appears to be a female Cirrhilabrus scottorum.

@evolved

Could it be c. cyanopleura?

^ it's one of a few other possibilities, yes.

You would know better, but I was thinking it is a juvenile/female from the cyanopleura complex, either C. cyanopleura or C. lyukyuensis. The yellow on above the nose was throwing me off though...

Edit: I didn't see Ngoodermuth's response before I posted.

Oh that helps a lot.

Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura it is, after all.

Cool - thanks everyone for pitching in with an ID. It's about 3" & got my multibar angel to start chowing down finally :)
