Biology

provided by Fishbase
This species is common on sheltered seaward reefs, primarily on the inner and eastern portions of the Cenderawasih Bay at depths between about 22 to 60 m, although it is more abundant below about 35 m. Observed to be in groups of about 10 to 20 individuals, including one to five males, and were typically encountered on rubble slopes or on rubble substrates at the base of slopes. Apparently feeds on zooplankton, which is typical for the genus, at a short distance above the bottom (Ref. 75881).

Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih

provided by wikipedia EN

Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is a species that is commonly on sheltered seaward reefs, in a world abundant with coral reefs and geographical landscapes. The eastern portions of the Cenderawasih Bay it is more abundant below about 35 m, although at a depth between about 22 to 60 m. They are generally found in Western Pacific, Indonesia. These island groups are highly endemic reef fishes in multiple genera, it is observed around 10 to 20 individuals including one or five males were typically encountered on rubble substrates at the base of slopes.[2] Male Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is pinkish fading to white near the belly and is typical of the complex. They are yellow elongated blotch runs across the pink/white demarcation that starts from the pectoral fin up to about two-thirds of the body length. The female is complete pink with a single black caudal spot, otherwise, it would be difficult to identify without contextual clues. The length of male Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is 6.5 cm SL and female 4.7 cm SL.[3] Bird’s Head Peninsular lies in the northwest province of West Papua so it is named as head of a bird, and it is the epicenter of three important reefs.[2]
