Etymology: Cirrhilabrus: Latin, cirrus = curl fringe + Greek, labros = furious (Ref. 45335); solorensis: Named after its type locality, Lawajong, Solor Island, Indonesia.
More on author: Bleeker.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 5 - 35 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Western Pacific: Indonesia to Australia (its southernmost limit in Darwin, northern Australia).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 48636)
Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 25. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: pored lateral line scales 22-28 (15-18 in the dorsoanterior series, 7-10 in the posterior peduncular series). Colouration: when alive head dull olive-gray to yellow-green; preopercle and opercle dusky green (dusky blue when preserved); predorsal region fuliginous (dusky blue-green when preserved); scales on body are edged in dark inky blue to indigo (dark blue when preserved), often patterned in an argyle motif, most distinct behind pectoral fin and upper half of body (Ref. 126788).
Cross section: compressed.
Found in coastal to outer reef lagoons on rubble and coral habitats (Ref. 48636); in shallow patch reefs with exposed rubble, at depths between 5-35 m and in several locations across Indonesia, it frequents low lying reefs replete with hard coral cover (which is unusual for Cirrhilabrus, ducking into coral matrix when approached (Ref. 126788).
