Got him for $30 and he's labeled as "assorted flasher wrasse".

This is a Cirrhilabrus species, from the Rubriventralis complex. However a white light photo with the fins displaying would be best for identification.
 
Thanks guys. I apologize for the blurry pics, but the fish was so active that taking a good photo is very hard. I'll try my best to recapture it.
 
My guess is it's probably a Ruby Long Fin Fairy?
Cirrhilabrus rubeus is the most likely answer however the pelvic fins is a big differentiator for most in the Rubriventralis complex.
