The longfin fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis), also known as the social wrasse, is a species of wrasse from the western Indian Ocean from the Red Sea to South Africa , though questionable claims have been made for its occurrence out to the western Pacific. It inhabits coral reefs at depths of 3 to 43 m (9.8 to 141.1 ft). This species can reach a total length of 7.5 cm (3.0 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.[2]
There is another species referred to as the social wrasse, Halichoeres socialis, found only in the Pelican Keys in Belize. It is critically endangered.[3]
