That's a flasher wrasse, rather than a fairy ... possibly a royal; Paracheilinus angulatus. (One of my faves!)

I'm saying "royal" based on the yellow-tipped, elongate-margined tail fin, and the fact that I don't see any of the filaments that most of the other flashers have. There's a thread in the fish forum for wrasse ID that's been going on for years ... the real pros hang out there.

Ok thanks. I seen that but there's alot of pages so I figured I'd just post it. I got $300 in store credit from coral so picked him up and a pintail wrasse as well. They just came in and were still bagged when I got them. Thank u.
