I've only seen 2 tuskfish species. A lot of aquariums I've been to have the harlequin tusk and one has the anchor tusk. I've also seen the harlequin tusk in the pet trade.

Now onto a massive genus

Cirrhilabrus- 60+ species. Fairy wrasse are discovered almost every year so I may be missing a few species that are not showing up on Wikipedia (which copies fishbase), I'll look for and cover the missing species after I finish the species already listed.

I'll be doing this genus in segements as it's too large.

Some species of Anampses are also called Tamarins, such as this one. interchangeable with wrasse.

I've always seen them as tamarin wrasses. I've never seen it left as tamarin.

I've always seen them as tamarin wrasses. I've never seen it left as tamarin.

I must have made a mistake then.
