Etymology: Cirrhilabrus: Latin, cirrus = curl fringe + Greek, labros = furious (Ref. 45335); katoi: Named for Mr. Shoichi Kato, who collected the first specimen (holotype).
Eponymy: Shoichi Kato (d: 1957) is a PADI diving instructor who has run Regulus Diving on Hachijo Island, Japan, since he opened it (1992). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 25. Median predorsal scales 4-5; horizontal scale rows on cheek below eye 2; body depth 3.3-3.5 in SL; head length 2.5-2.9 in SL; snout length 3.1-3.7 in head; Head and body scarlet above level of lower margin of eye; lower part of body orange-yellow with five broken rose-pink lines; head with several, longitudinal, irregular rose pink lines or rows of spots (Ref. 36346).

Observations at Kashiwa-jima Island and in adjacent waters showed the species to form aggregations comprising one or two males and several females, pairs, or solitary to several females. In some cases, single male appeared to maintain harems of several females. This species often forms aggregations with Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura, C. lunatus, C. rubrimarginatus and C. temminckii, over rocky substrata (Ref. 36346).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01585 (0.00700 - 0.03587), b=2.95 (2.76 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
