Cirrhilabrus lubbocki (seems to be the theme of the day)

$30-50 is the average range these days, so yes.

Paracheilinus lineopunctatus

How about this one crappy cell pic sorry

Most likely a female Cirrhilabrus lubbocki, but there's a small possibility it's a female Cirrhilabrus flavidorsalis. So hard to tell those two apart.

But C. lubbocki would be my final answer.

Is she rare or pretty common?

Solorensis is not rare to be imported, but it is not as common as, say a yellow tang.

Does it look like this (bottom one):

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Reef Aquariums: Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse

Or this:

Bluehead Fairy Wrasse

Fish Index

They are very similar. And it does not help that some people a while ago started to call the females "Ruby Headed Wrasses" LOL.http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1378+1153&pcatid=1153

That's strange for a wrasse to be interested in an anemone. Are you sure something else did not bug it?
