My LFS had this listed as a six line but I’m pretty sure it’s a pink streaked wrasse. Thoughts ? I’m sitting in my car taking these pictures so not the best.

For sure a pink streaked wrasse- the eyes are a dead give away. My husband and I had a pink streaked wrasse in our nano tank in San Francisco - a great fish!
 
Looks like either a pink streak similar to a scarlet wrasse. You got a deal. The Pink Streaked Wrasse is one of the smaller, peaceful wrasse. They are one of the few wrasse who can be kept in smaller tanks with peaceful fish that a prone to bullying. Their coloration is similar to the six and four line wrasse, but with a pink body rather than blue. Their eyes are a bright red that is easy to spot anywhere in the tank.

 
Not a scarlet wrasse for sure - the mouth of the pink streaked is smaller and brighter pink, scarlet has a larger are of White under the belly extending to the lower jaw and lips.
 
Just put it in the QT tank. Starting to definitely lean towards pink streaked! Awesome!!!!

That almost looks like a six line wrasse and it probably is because of the color and the green tail. They eat flatworms and are reef safe. They can sometimes grow to be territorial.
