Leopards are M. meleagris females. The Cirrhilabrus certainly looks like C. cf temmincki that LA has on their site. I bet the experts Evolved and eatbreakfast will be on in the morning to give us a definitive answer.

I'll add that the meleagris are both females, and that I wouldn't use the common name of "blue stripe" on the temminckii as most people think of Anampses femininus with that common name. Also, it's up for debate on whether it's temminckii or cf. temminckii; the latter would designate a separate species which resembles temminckii. Until some sequencing is done to sort out this clade, it's a matter if you are a "grouper" or a "splitter"; if this is a regional variant of temminckii or indeed a unique species.

Transitioning H. biocellatus.This fish was labeled Christmas wrasse at the LFS. Female I assumed from the color.
But I believe it to be a female halichoeres biocellatus.
Thank you.

Pic 1 will need to see the dorsal and anal fins. Either Paracheilinus filamentosus(my bet), P. cyaneus, or P. angulatus.
That is the extent of brand new collection.
Halichoeres melanurus.
Cirrhilabrus temminckii.

It's a male. There are a few variants, but they have a reputation for not really keeping great colors.
