A new Cirrhilabrus 2-12-08
Hello,
I
am sorry for my long silence. I hope you are fine.
<Do'o tashi mashiite my friend>
I got an unusual Cirrhilabrus species from Indonesian
waters. Two males are here, some 70mm & 75mm long, but the locality
in detail is not known.
I
hope some ichthyologist to name it soon, and maybe Allen or Randall
would describe it. They informed me that it should be new.
Now I call it the
'Shark-finned Fairy Wrasse'.
With
Best Wishes, Hiroyuki

ID Please: Cirrhilabrus exquisitus and Syconoid Sponges – 1/28/08
<Hi there!>
Can someone please tell me what these are in the attached
photos from my reef tank? They look like some sort of egg sacs, and if
they are sacs of some creature that I don't want in my tank, then I
would just as soon remove them now. If they are something I would like,
then obviously I would keep them.
<No worries with these, you can
keep them. They’re harmless, filter feeding sponges in the genus Sycon,
also called Syconoid sponges. For more information/photos, please see
the FAQ's at this link (and related links above):
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/spgidf7.htm >
For your info, I have:
1
Naso Tang
1 Foxface Tang
4 clownfish
2 black clowns
1
Snowflake eel
1 Fu Manchu lion
1 yellow angel
1 electric flame
scallop <Very difficult to keep.>
numerous snails
two tiny hermits
that stowed away with the snails
some chromis that disappeared (lion
food?)
2 Wrasse (type unknown, will attach pic also).
<Looks like
the Fairy Wrasse Cirrhilabrus exquisitus, commonly called the Exquisite
Wrasse. Considering all those colors, I'd say that it’s a very apt name!
By the way, color can vary depending on place of origin, whether it’s
male or female, etc. Here’s a photo of one for comparison (and lookee
there, it’s Bob’s photo!).

Australian Scott's Fairy Wrasse 11/27/2007
Hi Bob,
<Hey Peg>
I know I told you I'd send a pic of the fabulous Aussie Scott's Fairy
when I could get a good one, and in the event I've not yet forwarded the
pic, I'm attaching one here. He's comfortable in one of the store
display reefs now (180) and draws a lot of attention! He goes 5 to 6"
and has a great appetite. What a wonderful fish. The H.
trispilus/chrysus/cross/hybrid is also doing well and is a stunning fish
whatever he is. :O)
Off to do some water changes. Hope this finds you
having a great week!

<Thank you my
friend... am out visiting in much warmer Hawaii... Will post with credit
to you. Cheers, BobF>Re:
Australian Scott's Fairy Wrasse 11/27/2007
Hawaii, uh? I'm
jealous. We're looking at 3-5" of snow tonight, and the temp when I
awoke this morning was 3 degrees with a -15 windchill. How's that grab
you? :O)
<Low, and very hard... I "like" the snow... can tolerate
(short-term) some cold... but very much prefer the tropics>
I've
attached some pics of a very nice piece of Australian coral, a
Duncanopsammia axifuga. They ship a bit poorly but always bounce back
with good care and lots of good food. They're voracious feeders.
<Mmmm, thank you for this... Am thinking of asking how much time you
might have to help us/WWM out... with the more detailed reef
questions... And...>
Off to work. Do enjoy the sweet and warm
sunshine of the islands for me!
P
<I spent many years "on the
floor" in pet-fish retail... and have a high sense of compassion... Am
very pleased to meet up with you, your apparent "great" attitude toward
the work, life. Cheers, BobF>
Re: Australian Scott's Fairy Wrasse 11/28/2007
Hi Bob,
<Peg>
Thanks for the good laugh on your comment regarding our
weather. It was very descript. :O)
Looks like our snow will not be
upon us until later today. One can't rely too heavily on the weathermen
or women. I prefer the look out the window method. It's more accurate.
<And satisfying all the way around>
Perhaps in the future I can make
time to assist on WWM as you suggest. I'm presently a one-woman band in
my store, i.e., chief cook and bottle washer, the sole soul of
proprietorship.
<Outstanding... I spent some 14 years on the floor in
pet-fish retail myself... Not an easy job.>
I'm flattered to think
you would consider me though. I've been considering sponsorsing at WWM
because it's such an incredible site and offers a plethera of quality
info. Because I essentially detest forums (too many "experts" who
actually know less than those asking for help),
<We share this point
of view. I wonder if folks would readily 'listen' to such BBs for other
important matters like their health... To me, an unorganized mix of even
"Dear Abby" quality banter is a waste of time>
I have the utmost
respect for you, Calfo, Borneman, Delbeek, and certain others in the
industry who do provide quality information. I do have a boatload of
information stored away in the noggin after almost 18 years of serious
reefing. I anticipate sitting in a retirement home many (hopefully very
many) years from now reciting species names and no one else knowing what
the hell I'm talking about and assuming I've just slipped into dementia.
:O)
<Heeee! If I have to go... am going to own the place. Oh, and
we'll have fish tanks aplenty>
You are correct about the positive
attitude towards work and life. Always an optimist. I consider myself
extremely fortunate to be pursuing what I love as a livelihood! I was a
paralegal for 22 years in the court system working with many judges and
lawyers. It's obviously a very political environment and over the past
couple of years had worn me down terribly. I finally pulled the plug to
pursue my store full-time just this past August.
<Ah, congrats!>
I had been tinkering with it for over a year. Every morning when I wake
up and don't have to suit up and head to the government center, I
realize just how wealthy I truly am. I enjoy helping my customers and
teaching them how to be successful.
<Ahhhh!>
My motto is if you
don't learn something every time you come into my store, then I haven't
done my job. I've developed a pretty good clientele already and word is
getting out, so I trust the store will survive. :O) Time to get a move
on and get down there. Lots of protein skimmers that need attention and
lots of hungry herbivores awaiting my arrival! I'm still jealous you're
in Hawaii, but I'll be close when I get to my store! :O)
<I see>
Thanks again Bob, and make it a great day! Oh, please give my regards to
Charles Delbeek if you happen to visit the Waikiki, which I can't
imagine you wouldn't! He doesn't know I exist, but you can say hello for
me anyway.
:O)
<Have been e-chatting w/ Charlie re he swinging
over to the Big Island this go... and us getting in some diving,
chatting... We'll see. Cheers, BobF>

Blue Spotted Jawfish / Peacock, Make That, Redspotted Blenny
Compatibility 11/16/07
WWM Crew
<Hi Jim, Mich here.>
First
and foremost, I have just begun to dive into the huge amount of info on
your excellent site, and just want to say thank you!
<On behalf of
Bob and the crew you're welcome!>
One year ago I bought a 65gallon
bow-front tank (Old Town Aquarium, Chicago, IL)
<Is this the place
with the dedicated reading nook?>
and wish I had had this excellent
resource from day one.
<I found it a tremendous help when I started
as well.>
It has become my preferred casual evening reading:)
<Glad to hear... Is often mine also!>
Question:
<Answer?>
In my
reef tank, I have two percula clowns, 1 fairy wrasse, and a peacock
blenny. <No>
Would it be acceptable to add a Blue spot Jawfish ? I am
concerned that the blenny might cause a problem....
<The blenny and
the Jawfish will both spend most of their time on the bottom part of the
tank and may not exactly welcome each other, but like people,
personalities vary. Ideally the Jawfish should be the first fish
introduced. The Jawfish requires a deep sand bed (should be over 3
inches and deeper is better) and a completely covered tank because they
will find the tiniest of holes to escape to drier grounds. More info
here:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/jawfishe.htm >
I have attached a
picture of the blenny as I am still not 100% on its identity....
<Mmm, the attached picture is of a Redspotted Blenny (Istiblennius
chrysospilos). Not a Peacock Blenny. More info here:
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=6047
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/blennioids.htm >
also is attached a
picture of the fairy wrasse, as I would love to be able to get its exact
identity.
<Is a Red Scaled Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis)
you can see more here:

Cirrhilabrus misidentified... no pic, spaces twixt words, sentences...
Arggggh 6/23/06
Hi Guys and Gals, I love your site!
Anytime I have a question I come here. Many thanks for all you do for
the hobby. Now for the question of the
day. I was at the LFS today
and bought a beautiful Cirrhilabrus wrasse that I was told was a female
Cirrhilabrus solorensis. I have a male already and
couldn't resist.
The problem is I don't think it's a female Solorensis at all. My male
William) looks just like all the pictures and was very
interested in
the one I brought home, circling around the bag, flashing, etc. make it
short, they're fighting now, with the Solorensis chasing the new GUY
around. I have found this fish on your site and would like an ID
,please. The picture of the fish that I got today is the top photo, next
to the
selections, on this page:
www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/fishes/wrasses. It's the background fish, not
the yellow one. I hope it's a female Solorensis, Ut the
way they're
acting I suspect it's a male of a different Cirrhilabrus. f I'm right,
what do I do now?
<Fix your English... and enjoy them>
Should I
remove William for a while ,then try reintroducing him, remodel the
tankette. My tank is 105g with plenty of
hiding spots, but William
hunts him down relentlessly. Cohabits are 2 tomato clowns (who so far
don't bother anyone),2 PJ cardinals ,1 bi-color
blenny,1 Bluespot
jawfish. Please help me with the ID on this fish so I have an idea if
this will work or not.
<Send along pix...>
Thanks so much in advance, Gail

narrow range of color variation. Please see fishbase. Do run your

Marina,
Hi, yes
they know I was posting, in fact they were flattered, as the
gentleman in Japan likes your web site and has contributed from what
I
understand. If you read the emails, he was flattered. Just
look at
the dates of the emails. I did put it in order, except
the one from
Fenton (who is friends with the gentleman from
Japan) I put on later as
an additional supplement of information
on my questions. I will double
check, but I do not think Fenton
cares either.
I was named after Carrie Fisher.....(princess Leah
from star wars) My
mom liked the name. (I think this was
before she was in movies
though.....a friend of a friend of a
friend knew her mom. My daughters
name is Leah...couldn't help
myself.
Here is a little trivia..... On the first mention of
Princess Leah,
when they are about to blow up the planet
Alderan, that captain refers
to her as Princess LEE-AH not
LAY-AH. That was the ONLY time her name
was said that way, and
it was the first time her character was
introduced. So I still
call her Princess Leah............
Take Care,
Carrie :)

New Wrasse Species...Or Typo? Cirrhilabrus bathiphilus vs.
Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus 10/17/05
Hello there,
<Hi there!
Scott F. with you today!>
Hope all is well, I believe I purchased a
Cirrhilabrus bathiphilus today, not to be confused with Cirrhilabrus
bathyphilus which I also purchased today. Unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be much information regarding this particular fish. I've gone
through a couple search engines and it appears the only info available
is a brief description on your fairy wrasses page, this is also the only
photograph I've been able to find as well. I've also checked
fishbase.org with no luck. Is there any direction you can point me in to
find some more information regarding this wrasse? I can't even find a
common name for it.
Thank you, Gabe Hernandez
<Well, Gabe- you've
got me kinda stumped on this one, too! I checked a lot of ichthyological
sources on line, and it may be that there is simply no valid species
called "C. bathiphilus". I noticed that the type specimens for C.
bathyphilus were described in 2002 by B.H. Nagareda and John Randall,
per the Bishop Museum (HI) website and fishbase.org. Curiously, our
description and photo of what we are calling "C. bathiphilus" look just
like the specimen of C. bathyphilus on fishbase.org, and also indicates
that the species was described by Nagareda and Randall in 2002.
Coincidence? I suspect not. I'm gonna take a hunch and think that we may
have a typo on our site...Could be one in the same...Bob, what say
you...? Regards, Scott F.>
Cirrhilabrus lubbocki/Lubbock's Wrasse - 10/12/05
Wanted you
to see this wrasse that I have in QT. I am not sure what type of
fairy wrasse this species might be. I am interested in learning
about the species before entering into my established reef tank.
Some interesting about the fish is when excited it get blue spots on
its face and distinct blue banding on its body. Normally this fish
expresses yellow dorsal, anal and pectoral fins tail fin is tapered
, body is reddish with purple blotches. Any idea? Regards, Bob
Dreggy, Kingwood, WV.
<<Hi Bob... What you have there is
Cirrhilabrus lubbocki, or the
Lubbock's wrasse. It's a beautiful
and delightful little "Fairy" wrasse who's coloring can be quite
dramatic as you've witnessed, and will vary slightly between
specimens. They feed primarily on zooplankton and will do quite well
on mysis shrimp, chopped krill, frozen plankton, etc...mine will
even eat flake and pelleted food. They are fairly hardy and
peaceful, can be kept with other peaceful wrasses/fishes, and will
attain a maximum size of about 3". Regards, EricR>> |

New photos will be sent 9/4/05
Hi Bob,
<Greetings Hiroyuki!>
I am sorry for my long silence.
<Doh itashi mashiite>
Hers is a
new comer to my home, Cirrhilabrus adornatus , male, 55mm from
Sumatra. I call it the Adorned Fairy Wrasse.

Flasher Wrasse, latest version with 1000 photos. I will send them

Wrasse i.d from your site 7/14/05
Hi Bob -
<Rebecca>
I¹m
hoping you can clear up for me the identification of
the fish in the
very top photo on this page. I¹m confused about
Whether it is
supposed to be attached to the post just above it...
By Hiroyuki. I
think he¹s talking about a different fish.
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/velvetwridfaqs.htm
I have a fish
identical to this one, and believe it to be
C. bathyphilus; a
different color morph of which is shown at
the bottom of the same
page. Are they both C. bathyphilus?
Thanks for any help you can
provide.
best,
Rebecca

rubrisquamis pic my Tanaka-san. BobF> |
Re: Wrasse i.d from your site 7/14/05
Hi Bob -
<Rebecca>
Thanks for your quick response.
Sorry... I was mistaken I'm not
asking about the photo at the very top
of that page (which is C.
rubrisquamis indeed). I'm curious about the photo
just below
Hiroyuki's post entitled "C. Adornatus."
Sorry for the error.
Thanks again,
R
<Uhh, sorry re the mix-up... from what I see
on fishbase.org this is definitely not C. adornatus... but Google
Images does show a male to be what you surmise: C. bathyphilus...
Unfortunately... I know naught otherwise. Bob Fenner> |
Re: Wrasse i.d from your site 7/14/05

I did the same search and got the same results. That C.
adornatus
post on that page really confused me though!
