Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is a species of fairy wrasse that is commonly on sheltered seaward reefs. It is more abundant below about 35 m, although at a depth between about 22 to 60 m. They are generally found in Indonesia.[2] Male Cirrhilabrus cenderawasih is pinkish fading to white near the belly and is typical of the complex. A yellow elongated blotch runs across the pink/white demarcation that starts from the pectoral fin up to about two-thirds of the body length. The female is completely pink with a single black caudal spot. The length of the male is 6.5 cm SL and the female 4.7 cm SL.[3] Bird's Head Peninsular in the northwest province of West Papua is the epicenter of three reefs.[2]
