Need a Picture of a cook island fairy wrasse

It's just a geographical variation for Cirrhilabrus scottorum.

clord,

What do you mean the "Cook Islands Fairy" ?

There is an endemic species, C. claire, a rare fish that I have never seen or heard of in the aquarium trade.
 
No I mean Cirrhilabrus scottorum. The one from cook island looks really cool on Live Aquaria but I have not seen any other pictures that looks like that. I have a chance of buying one from cook island but I'm getting the feeling it won't look like the on on LA.
 
This is one of my Scotts' Fairy Wrasse, male, 14cm from the Cook Islands.

It has a yellow dorsal fin like those from the islands; possibly a geographical variant.

yes, I agree w/ the post -- fish stores should include alternate angles or updated pics cuz some people (LIKE ME) never have access to see these fish in real life and usually have to order first and that gets expensive!

I'd like to see an alternate pic of a blue flasher wrasse other than marinecenter and marine depotlive (you know it wont look like that when you get it)

someone should do a thread w/ straight pics and fish identification - no questions or comments,
