LOL, only one fish just starting to change. I guess it was easier than I expected, any pics of yours?

Awesome, that's exactly what I was hoping it was. Any ideas how long it takes to get its adult male colors ( as in weeks months or maybe a year?)

 

[evolved]

I'm afraid there is no answer to that. A few days, to many many months, to never. It's entirely dependant upon the environment.

Is my melanarus a boy or a girl?

transitional male

How about this Hawaian wrasse? The dive masters are of no help. I know you guys will know it.

This guy did not want to hold still for a second. He was labeled as a Lime Wrasse but when researching I could only find a Lime Green Wrasse and this guy wasn't that green. He was very pastel with almost faded colors. If you can help that would be great but I understand the pictures are not that great.

[saltyhog]

Is this also Coris gaimard? Markings are similar but colors are completely different.

Yup, picturesque aquatics is right, a terminal male Coris gaimard.

This is a male, but hasn't reached full terminal status.
