上图是一种非常华丽的杂种Paracheilinus togeanensisandP. Filamentosus。尽管P. Filamentosus是贸易中的主食和广为人知的物种，P. togeanensis（Togean flasher wrasse）is not. The Togean flasher wrasse is a species that has never entered the aquarium trade before, and is not well known even amongst wrasse aficionados.
Found in Sulawesi and Togean Islands, the fish looks just like any other member of theParacheilinus除了没有任何细丝的大圆形背鳍外，属。大型背鳍真的很漂亮，随着向后发展，它开始成倍弯曲。
Like many other flasher wrasses documented in the Indo-Pacific region, it overlaps in range with many congeners and often hybridizes with them.P. Filamentosus，，，，P. flavianalisandP. cyaneushave all been documented to hybridise with the Togean flasher wrasse.
识别闪光灯沃斯杂种可能很困难且征税，因为它们中的大多数具有非常相似的身体颜色和图案，只有未配对的鳍才能区分该物种。P. togeanensis由于缺乏图片和信息在线，并不是广为人知。
这是一些非常好的图片，其中包括在野外，在Lembeh Straits中。与该属的所有成员一样，闪光灯的扭曲是盐分，雄性闪烁着颜色以吸引潜在的女性。婚礼的颜色通常涉及蓝色和白色的鲜艳金属阴影，以及颜色强度的总体增加。下面是另一张杂交的照片P. togeanensis也可能P. flavianalisorP. Filamentosus。
左侧照片是Flasher Wrasse显示的典型外观。在求女性或向对手男性展示时，ParacheilinusWrasses显示婚礼的颜色或“闪光灯”。这种闪烁的行为伴随着快速的游泳运动以及所有鳍的耀斑。最值得注意的变化是颜色的强化和金属蓝色的外观。
Check out the flashing hybrid on the left. Notice the intense metallic blue sheen that develops on the dorsal region of the body as well as on the fins. The blue lines on the body also pick up the metallic change and meanders through the fish. The fairy wrasses of the genuscirrhilabrusalso display in a similar fashion, but are often not as metallic as their flasher wrasse cousins.
这种罕见的混合的仅仅是一个例子these flasher wrasses are capable of producing in the wild. Unlike fairy wrasses, the flasher wrasses are messy spawners and often spawn with females of different species. Almost all female flasher wrasses are indistinguishable from each other and often mix around in large inter-species harems.
Hybrids therefore, are not uncommon in flasher wrasses but are extremely uncommon in fairy wrasses. Other notable hybrids are those involvingParacheilinus angulatus。与独特的杂种P. angulatusare stunning as well, due to the unique cursor like finnage ofP. angulatus。
