Description
Overview
The male golden rhomboidalis wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis) features a vibrant golden-yellow body and a pale to dark blue head with distinct dark blue, maze-like stripes. A key identifying feature is its elegant, diamond-shaped tail.
Key Characteristics
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Coloration | The body is predominantly golden-yellow, with the head displaying purple and blue hues. Males exhibit more intense, defined colors, especially during courtship. |
| Markings | Numerous dark blue, thin lines create a maze-like pattern across the body. |
| Fins | The fins are often translucent with soft yellow, purple, and pink hues. Males possess longer, more elongated pelvic and dorsal fins compared to the females’ shorter, stubbier fins. |
| Size | Males tend to be larger, reaching a maximum size of up to 4 inches, while females are generally smaller. |
| Tail | The caudal (tail) fin is a distinctive diamond shape, which is less pronounced in females. |
Like many fairy wrasses, these fish are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning all juveniles start as females and the dominant female in a group can transition into a male if necessary. Males will also intensify their colors and perform a “flashing” courtship display to attract females
