Help me identify this wrasse

Hello,
This wrasse is available at my lfs and the guy said its Cirrhilabrus solorensis, but when I typed it in google I see different coloration, can you please confirm is this Cirrhilabrus solorensis or its something else and if you can tell me what will be great

Looks like it’s a Cyanopleura or Chalasai. Definitely in that complex but it looks like it’s a newer transitioning male and thus harder to ID.

Thanks, I just wonder is it reef safe, because I like it a lot.

Yep! Definitely reef safe, all Cirrhilabrus are.

To me, that's a transitioning C. chaliasi, back is just a bit off for cyanopleura.

Yet chalasai isn’t blue as a juvenile/female to my knowledge
