Was purchased as H. melanurus but it has a lot more yellow/gold than other pictures I've seen. Has been difficult to get a clear picture.

I am in the same boat as you. I think we just have to wait a bit until she start to transition. See my wrasse’s pictures last page.

If you can get a better pic of the anal and caudal fin, that would help.

Thanks Hunter, my first successful ID for someone on a FB group ;) Shame they're on the aggressive side.
