In lady gaga's words, born this way.

Have been long since a nice lemonpeel hybrid appeared

post-10328-0-38815500-1370628942.jpg

The tinker-flavo hybrids are highly variable and despite now appearing with more regularity, nicer ones like the one below is still hard to come by ,

A fish i m looking for so hard but to no avail has recently appeared in japan again after its long hiatus. The deepwater chromis flavicauda from brazil, frequently mistaken for a jumboo-sized yellow tail damsel (chrysiptera parasema)

familiarity has made us jaded with the beauty of Cirrhilabrus earlei.

there's a magical moment when a male appears out of the darkness, and in an instant, a flash of purple fire ripples along the body and fins engulfing the entire fish in a scintillating burst of lavender flames. there's a picture and video of a male in nuptial display as it torpedos around the tank in an electric purple shimmer.

it is still one of the prettiest cirrhilabrus.

here's a link to a few new videos of Cirrhilabrus marjorie in the wild. the link contains a few short videos of perfect mature male specimens displaying in the reefs of Fiji.

C. marjorie is still one of my favorite wrasses. it is colored very simply but is so unique in appearance. it is so similar to the lubbocki group but is separated and thrown all the way to the other side of the ocean in Fiji. here, a large male shows its true beautiful potential.
