Next time I upgrade, I’ll be ditching most of the other non-wrasse fish (that I don’t have already) and going for more wrasses
The Indonesian variant is really a good variant and it appears yours is still a transitioning maleThis is the one I have:
They gain a full body of sapphire scales that when in display go bright blue and their tails go deep red.
This is my Indonesian variant, the purple can be deeper and more blue as seen in yours but it can also be a more lilac as seen in mine. I have both variants however I don’t recommend it.

IMO wouldn‘t recommend the C. lunatus or A. lineatus here. Not for the first wrasse try outs.

C. lunatus is rather easy, as for A. lineatus I agree, not for the beginner however when you see the other fish he has some of them have similar reasons for being difficult as both Anampses and Macropharyngodon.
Obviously all of those wrasses need their own bits of research however they were just all different levels of beginner to difficult (I disagree with the expert label, I have cared for some of those fish but I don’t have knowledge of a proper expert) as well as being different levels of expensive, some are more expensive than others however no Johnsoni or Earlei was on there for obvious reasons… who has 1K to drop on fish that isn’t an addict like us?
