Cirrhilabrus wakandais a brand new species of fairy wrasse described from the western Indian Ocean, more specifically from Zanzibar in Tanzania. Fairy wrasses are widespread from the East Coast of Africa through the Central Pacific Ocean but we know so much less about the species at the east end of this range than the countless species in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Vibranium Fairy Wrasse asCirrhilabrus wakanda也称为与印度洋中的一些最稀有的童话斗篷密切相关C. sanguineus,and the Red Sea fairy wrasse,C. blatteus。Like both of those species the coloration of the Vibranium fairy wrasse is fairly unremarkable in the dorsal and anal fins and most of the ‘action’ is found on the body – most notably the yellowish face gives way to a creamy orange colored body but it has widely spaced large purple colored scales on the top half of the body.
Vibranium Fairy Wrasse最近发现的部分原因是由于它在坦桑尼亚海岸的远程分布以及许多其他新物种，其偏爱中嗜性珊瑚生态系统。从大约75米或约250英尺的深度中吹来，这不是您在没有专门的深水潜水设备的情况下不小心遇到的那种鱼类。[[ZooKeys]
