Fairy Wrasse ID

[HeyJay]

This was labelled as a blue side fairy wrasse/Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura but it doesn't seem to look like any examples I see online.

Not the best pictures, his body is completely pale blue with little variation and a white underside, fins are a bright orange/yellow when he flares them out.

Is it possible to get whiter photos?

It’s in the temminckii complex. I believe it’s one of the C. Punctatus variants.

That’s what my original thought was but it looked off compared to the other wrasses in that complex.

Photo Credit to Reef Builders, does your wrasse look close to any of these in person? It looks somewhat like C. cf punctatus “vanuatu”
