Cirrhilabrus briangreenei, the Latigo fairy wrasse,[1] is a species of wrasse that lives in the waters of Indonesia, Philippines, Western Pacific Ocean.[2] It can be found at depths from 82 - 110 m, and was known for a long time in the aquarium trade but only in 2020 received a scientific name.[3] This species can reach a total length of 1.57 - 2.76 cm. It feeds on amphipods, brine shrimps, copepods, cyclops, Daphnia salina, fish larvae, invertebrates, lobster eggs and zooplankton.[2]

This species Cirrhilabrus briangreenei is named in honor of Brian D. Greene, who in addition to collecting the type specimens, has contributed extensively towards the study and exploration of coral reef diversity through deep technical diving.[2] To be treated as a noun in apposition. The common name ‘‘latigo’’ is Tagalog for ‘‘whip,’’ given in reference to the long, slender pelvic fins.[2]
