New tank denizen.

[FutureInterest]

This is called a black fin flame wrasse. It is more commonly called a condei wrasse as its scientific name is Cirrhilabrus condei.

This particular specimen is a supermale and loves to display. They stay small and unlike some of the other colorful deepwater fairy wrasse I have, it is not shy and is always in the forefront of the tank.

All credit for these great pics go to Alex aka photokid. I tried taking some shots and they all turned out blurry.

Thanks, its fast becoming one of my favorite fishies.

Victor - I got it from the diver's den for 70. Its the most colorful specimen of this species I've seen by far.
