Laboute's wrasse, Cirrhilabrus laboutei, is a species of wrasse native to the coral reefs of New Caledonia and Australia, where it occurs at depths of 7 to 55 m (23 to 180 ft). This species can reach a total length of 12 cm (4.7 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name of this fish honours Pierre Laboute who first photographed this species off New Caledonia and gave J.E. Randall advice on where to collect specimens.[3]
