This was sold as a Fairy Wrasse, and I can’t seem to find a picture on-line similar to this one. I’d like to know what specific Fairy Wrasse it is. Thanks for looking.

Wow! That was fast. There’s the reason I couldn’t find it….I was searching for Fairy Wrasses. Just checked out the picture on LiveAquaria and a Hoeven's Wrasse (Halichoeres melanurus) is it! Thanks!
