Etymology: Cirrhilabrus: Latin, cirrus = curl fringe + Greek, labros = furious (Ref. 45335). More on author: Bleeker.

Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 5 - 35 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical, preferred ?
Western Central Pacific: Indonesia.
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 48636)

soft rays: 9. Highly variable. Nuptial color can change from normal in seconds. Usually nuptial colors are shown during spawning, but in Tomini Bay it is almost permanent, possibly because of the similar C. aurantidorsalis that often mixes with this species. The eye is bright red and males usually show a dark shading or band along the end of the gill cover (Ref. 48636).
Found in coastal to outer reef lagoons on rubble and coral habitats (Ref. 48636).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01660 (0.00723 - 0.03808), b=2.95 (2.76 - 3.14), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
