Blue-throated Fairy-wrasse

Cirrhilabrus cyanogularis. Described (collaboratively) by a Scripps scientist in 2018. Taken May 2019
Quite a few species of wrasse have been described after appearing in the aquarium trade, and I can think of a few non-wrasse species as well.
 
@Great Argus Its quite interesting, reminds me of a book I read about finding new species all using museum specimen collections. I used to be more involved with the aquarium trade and loved to watch the different online auctions and stores for unique species, never really occured to me that their might be undescribed species mixed in however :D
