Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis -v- Cirrhilabrus solorensis female

[elegance coral]

What is the difference between these two fish?

Live Aquaria says the fish is C. aurantidorsalis

Quality Marine says the fish is C. solorensis

Everything I can find on either fish pretty much shows the same fish.

Thanks

First link is what is considered an Orange Back Fairy. Second is indeed a Female Solorensis also known as a Clown Fairy Wrasse. Orange back is a male and the solon is a female. They are basically the same thing care wise and are indeed from the same family. This is a a male Solorensis which is very commonly found in the trade http://www.qualitymarine.com/Produc...labrus-solorensis/Ruby-Head-/-Solorensis-Male. Females are harder to come across as they are not regularly collected.
