Bought 4 wrasses that needs to be identified.

Two flasher wrasse and two fairy wrasse, I believed.

Here are the photos:

I’m going to tag @evolved or @eatbreakfast to double check me here, but I think:

Picture 1- Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis
Picture 2- Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus
Picture 3- Cirrhilabrus rubeus
Paracheilinus carpenteri
 
Yey. Thanks for the ids. But i think the wrasse on the first pic is a flasher. I could be wrong though. Heres another pic

I hope you knew How to care for them before you bought. Nice fish by the way.
 
Thank you for the concern. I’m giving them mysis shrimps and AF plankton elixir every other day and have food pellets on automatic feeder each morning and noon everyday. Plus I put nori on veggie clips replaced everyday. My only concern is the pencil multicolor wrasse bec. I’ve read they do not last long on captivity even when eating foods prepared for them. Sigh. But all wrasse are eating already including the leopard wrasse. So happy.
 
Here is another pic from another angle. You can see some filaments on the dorsal fin. Sorry i could not get a better picture of the fish. The whole body and face of the wrasse doesnt have a pattern like those you see on carpenters or mccosker.
