上图所示的令人惊叹的wrasse是两个已经稀有物种之间极为罕见的融合。尚未描述的Pintail Fairy Wrasse（Cirrhilabrus cf.Lanceolatus) and the also difficult to obtain Crescent tail fairy wrasse (C. lunatus）有时在野外杂交以形成这个令人惊叹的爱情孩子。继续阅读以获取更多诱人的图片以及有关有助于这种惊人标本的两个母体的更多信息。
Cirrhilabrus杂种几乎是闻所未闻的，在六十种左右的物种中，综合被称为仙女扭曲，只有一种杂种有一些规律性的记录，而这是一种。之间的杂种C. lunatus，，，，and the yet to be describedC. cf. lanceolatus。What’s incredibly unique about this hybrid is its tail, and the fact that it shows clearlybothtraits from its parents. To understand this, we must first take a look at how each of the parental species are designed.
The two wrasses above with highly crescentic tails areC. lunatus，，，，with its species name depicting the appearance of its caudal fin shape.Cirrhilabrus lunatusis a wide ranging fish that can be found in subtropical Japan, or more tropical Philippines. The big disparity in geographical locations shows in the appearance of the fish. In the Philippine lunatus pictured far top, the fish lacks the bright yellow blotch present on the flank of the Japanese versions. The tail and unpaired fin is also considerably darker. This has led splitters to believe that Philippine examples may in future, represent a different species. While we’re on the topic ofC. lunatus，，，，keep in mind its tail shape while we continue exploring the other parent that contributes one half to this hybrid.
Hybridising withC. lunatusis this other immaculate species, the Pintail Wrasse. This little species is more closely related toC. lunatusthanC. lanceolatus，，，，which its name suggests. The only resemblance it has to the gargantuan latter is the lancet shaped tail it possesses.C. lanceolatus长到近7英寸的长度，而长柱仅生长到3。由于未描述并且表面上具有相同的尾巴形状，因此已被任命为“ CF。lanceolatus”，CF在其中表示相似或授予。Pintail Fairy Wrasse也非常罕见，可以在日本和菲律宾找到。
那些进入贸易几乎总是贴画cted in the Philippines. Japanese caught pintail wrasses are obtainable, but command a much higher price. Now take a look at the tail of this yet to be described species. It has a rhomboidal, lancet shaped tail that tapers to a point. A total opposite compared toCirrhilabrus lunatus。当这两个物种聚集在一起时，所得的杂种具有超级独特的“三角”尾巴。
柳叶刀形尾部基因的混合与新月形的混合形成了三瓣尾巴，几乎就像三叉戟形一样。完美的融合了两个巨大的尾巴形状。现在还记得我们上面提到的是，在菲律宾和日本都发现了Lunatus Fairy Wrasse？是的，这是正确的，范围与两个区域的Pintail Wrasse完美重叠。然后有boththe Philippine and Japanese lunatus with the pintail wrasses?
简而言之，是的。上面的混合动力车是由位于菲律宾的RVS Fishworld收集的。深色未配对的鳍和尾巴的存在表明了菲律宾变体的遗传输入C. lunatus。The body lacks the bright yellow streak that is found in japaneseC. lunatus。The japanese hybrids are more well documented with numerous pictures in the wild and in the trade.
上图显示了日语的男性混合体C. lunatus和长尾。查看三叉戟形尾巴的戏剧性夸张。该标本非常出色地显示了尾部特质。这些扭曲比我们想象的要密切相关，发现许多杂种并记录了表达不同程度的“杂种”。有些人更夸张地夸张的三叉戟尾巴，而另一些则更加闷闷不乐。
大约三年前，吉姆·格里扎诺夫斯基（Jim GryzanowskiBlueHarbor。到目前为止，这是少数几个从日本水域进入市场的混合动力车之一。您可以立即在其未经兴奋的状态下看到它，它拥有一支来自日本Lunatus的黄色乐队，该乐队在菲律宾Lunatus或其混合动力车中没有发现。
The world of hybrids continue to fascinate us. With this current hybrid in our custody, you can be sure we will continue feeding you updates on its development and its color when it settles into its tank. If you think it looks stunning now sitting in a breeder box, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s only going to look even more smashing in a reef tank swimming with multiple females.
Here’s a brief video of the same fish. We’d like to thank RVS FishWorld for their incredible supply of Philippines caughtC. lunatus，，，，C. brunneus，，，，C. cf. lanceolatus以及这种混合动力。非常感谢Iwarna Aquafarm进口鱼，以及Jim Gryzanowski，Barnett Shutman和Koji Wada的分享。有关Lunatus C.及其相关物种综合体的更多信息，请阅读此信息link。
