Cirrhilabrus katherinae Randall, 1992
Katherine's wrasse, 7.1cm

A group of these were recently observed on the rubbly slope of a large lagoon pinnacle near Mann Pass. If the ID is correct, it is a new record for the Marshalls.

What may be an older specimen was observed with a group of others in some lagoon slope patches of Halimeda algae.
