Current taxonomy includes solomonensis within kaaea rather than recognising it as a separate valid species. The Solomon commercial name is retained for ordering; it does not certify the collecting island, sex or an exact colour phenotype. This wild-caught 3-4 cm offer remains distinct from the Caledonian Red Nose lot.

Prepare mature filtered housing with secure rocky resting places and circulation suited to the confirmed stream stock. Monitor individual food intake. An amphidromous life cycle includes a marine larval phase; it does not prescribe salt for the offered adult fish.
