Is it me or the stomach seems bloated or too full from feeding?

Liveaquaria fed too much. The fish was in perfect health and eat like a glutton! Pylei unlike chabanaudi is so easy to feed!

That is the brand new Cirrhilabrus squirei from the coral sea. it's named after lyre squire of cairns marine. although not described officially, the name has more or less been agreed on.

there's one more piece being collected right now and may go to liveaquaria. this species isn't found quite deep, and being in a accessible area with a good collector, we'll likely see more of these in the future.
