Randall & Nagareda, 2002
Known as very rare, but however sometimes to be found in Germany. The shown one belongs to Joachim Großkopf, Nürnberg.
It was imported from Micronesia.
Mostly remain smaller than 10 cm, but it is not so unusual that fishes become bigger in nature than in our tanks. Not easy to be fed. Like all Cirrhilabrus, they are very shy and sensitive in the beginning, but after acclimation not too difficult to keep.
Be careful: they like to jump!!

Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
