LFS description of "Purple/Yellow dwarf Parrot" seems to be wrong. Is this a fairy wrasse of sorts?

Looks like Cirrhilabrus ryukyuensis​

Also known as

Yellowflanked Fairy Wrasse, Blueside Wrasse, Ryukyu Fairywrasse, Purple Yellow Spot Dwarf Parrot​

That's a beautiful fish. Parrots are still a wrasse, but a fairy wrasse is much easier to keep long term. Grats on the purchase. If you bought/buy it.

I did buy him and he is such a character and very pretty to look at. Gets along well with the other fish :)
