This guy was mislabeled at the lfs as a twin spot wrasse in which he definitely is not. Through research I'm guessing red line wrasse?

Looks to be a red line wrasse

Halichoeres biocellatus, common names include redline wrasse and red Christmas wrasse. However, biocellatus translates to two spot, so the LFS name is understandable.

Unless you’re a tiny shrimp (very small), yes!

Nice, will check lfs next week! Although I still want another wrasse....lol

I love flame hawks.

Another wrasse that would go well is yellow coris wrasse H. chrysus, or the grey head wrasse, H. leucurus.
