Husbandry

Senou & Hirata, 2000

Very special thanks for the brilliant photos of Odontanthias katayamai to Lemon Tea Yi Kai from Japan.

Cirrhilabrus katoi does not bury themselves in the sand at night, they may form a mucus cocoon similar to some parrotfishes and / or wedge themselves into a rock crevice.

Rare species, seldom in the trade.
