So I was told this is a ruby headed fairy wrasse buuut it is different from what I googled. Is it a red finned fairy wrasse or something similar? Thanks for your input!

looks like female debelius fairy wrasse to me, if you could include tail in the picture would be easier to identify

It’s a dark photo but it’s the best one I got of the tail! Hope it helps!

Got some better photos since he/she is More comfortable now. Tail has bars and fins have thin blue and green blue strip under chin. I had to show the one photo of the face coz it was cute.

Maybe cirrhilabrus rubripinnis or tonozukai. It looks like its part of the condei clade in cirrhilabrus

@evolved may know

I looked again in the internet and found a match with a red finned or ruby finned fairy wrasse. I think it’s a male too coz it flares up when he sees his reflection. Lol

Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis is correct.
