Species of fish
Cirrhilabrus briangreenei, the Latigo fairy wrasse, is a species of wrasse that lives at mesophotic reef and rubble patches at depths of 40–110 m (130–360 ft) in the Philippines (reports from elsewhere are likely due to confusion with the similar C. pylei).[1] It was known for several years in the marine aquarium trade before its scientific species description in 2020.[2] Based on a small number of measured specimens, it is up to about 6.5 cm (2.6 in) in standard length.[1] In an aquarium setting, it will feed on amphipods, brine shrimps, copepods, Cyclops, Daphnia, fish larvae, invertebrates, lobster eggs and zooplankton.[3]
