Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis Randall, 1988
Rhomboid wrasse, 8.5cm

Another wrasse that currently is known only from the Marshall Islands, Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis inhabits the seaward slope, usually at depths greater than 30m. Although sometimes reported to be only from Kwajalein Atoll, the recompression chamber at Kwaj has treated one or more fish collectors who were hit by decompression sickness diving for these at Majuro.
