Let Me ID Your Wrasse!

Are you sure? It doesnt look like the ship fins I seen. Is it a whip fin from a different region?

110% sure I'm afraid. There isn't much regional variability with the species.

What about this wrasse? I got him as C. cyanopleura. However after a few weeks, and close observation I think he may be a C. aurantidorsalis. What say you? TIA
