Nope, it's. A male Cirrhilabrus lubbocki, lubbock's fairy wrasse, Bali variant.Was sold to me as a blue sided fairy wrasse. Is this what it is?

I've stared a while now, and I don't see the hybridization on the last one. Both appear just filamentosus to me.
TJ, did I miss something?
No, I did, I was looking on my phone and didn't click on the pic, I only saw thered dorsal filament, so one dorsal filament and a lunate caudal, so... but when you posted I went back and enlarged the pic to see the purple ones too.
Thats the C. cf temminckii Cebu variant that was collected in Northern Philippines and is being called katherinae in the trade.Here's been my other debate

Bright redish/pink with a few blue stripes.
Without seeing the dorsal and anal fins it is hard to pin down, but it is a flasher wrasse with a rounded caudal and a white belly, so in order of likelyhood it could be carpenter's, mckosker, or flavianalis. Lineopunctatus also has a rounded caudal, but is generally darker.Bright redish/pink with a few blue stripes.
Labropsis xanthonota, it's a species of tubelip wrasse that feeds primarily on coral polyps.
What is this guy?
