Cirrhilabrus ryukyuensis is a wrasse from the western Pacific Ocean from Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines north to Japan. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 15 cm in length.[1] SOme authorities regard this taxon as a synonym of Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura,[2] but Fishbase[1] and the Catalog of Fishes treat it as a valid species.[3] This species was called Cirrhilabrus lyukyuensis but this is treated as a misspelling.[3]
