There once was a wrasse quite divine,
Cirrhilabrus exquisitus, so fine,
With hues of electric blue,
And a hint of yellow too,
A stunning sight, it's hard to decline!
This fish has a body so sleek,
And fins that are long and unique,
It's found in the Western Pacific,
And its beauty is quite prolific,
A dazzling sight, for all who seek.
In the wild, it swims in coral reefs,
With a diet that's full of small beefs,
Its behavior is quite complex,
And it's known to be quite perplexed,
A fish that simply defies beliefs.
So if you happen to catch a sight,
Of Cirrhilabrus exquisitus in flight,
Take a moment to pause,
And marvel at its great cause,
For it is truly a wondrous sight.
