    Bought as a tricolor wrasse, saw pics which do not match. Got a deal so I snagged it anyway. The pics are the best I could do, took about 30 and these are the best.

    Need better photos of coloration. Cirrhilabrus IMO though.

    Tell it to be still when you try to take a pic.

    None of them have same coloration. Checked over that a few times, that's for looking though. I appreciate it.
