i've been in the market for a rhomboid wrasse and constantly check online sites for one. i noticed a new rc banner from coralreeffarms. pretty stoked to find a rhomboid wrasse for $129. !!! i checked the picture again and it didnt look like a rhomboid wrasse. i called coral reef and the guy who answered agreed that it didnt look like a rhomboid and he didnt think it was a cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis. however, he was still selling it as a rhomboid wrasse because it "came in" as a rhomboid wrasse.

he claims that he received 20 calls about the fish and is taking down names because he can get a bunch of them. can anyone confirm if what they are selling is a rhomboid or not? maybe price is too good to be true.

Maybe it's a female Rhomboid, I know they aren't as colorful as the males.
