The Sailfin Fairy Wrasse, Cirrhilabrus sp., is a yet-to-be-identified species of Cirrhilabrus native to the waters off the coasts of Indonesia and the Philippines. The Sailfin Fairy Wrasse has pretty remarkable body shape and finnage. It has a large and flowing dorsal fin that is mostly red with purple accents, two large red pectoral fins, a large red caudal fin lined in purple, and a beautiful purple-striped red anal fin. On top of these beautiful colors, the Sailfin Fairy Tang has a deep electric blue directly under its chin. All of these characteristics were originally thought to be mutations, variations, or hybrids of existing fairy wrasse species but more and more specimens are being found and making their way to the US aquarium trade making it more likely that the Sailfin Fairy Wrasse is a unique species.
