Actually, I think it may be Stethojulis terina.Pseudojuloides cerasinus, just starting to transition to male.
Need to see the anal fin, tail, and dorsal. Ideally without as much blue.Not great pictures. But maybe you can help. Was sold to me as a McCoskers Flasher Wrasse straight out of a box transhipped from Indonesia.
After being in my tank for over a year, I really don’t think it is. Looks more like a fairy wrasse. About 3” long. Pink and white with some subtle horizontal stripes.

They are peaceful, but difficult. They are detrivores, but focus on the 'mulm' that settles on the rocks. They generally don't do well unless in very large systems.I think you’re right. I can’t find much information on these guys in regard to the aquarium hobby.. what would you say an appropriate price for this specimen would be/ their temperament towards eating coral & inverts?
Looks like it could be mckoskers, carpenters, or flavianalis. Can't tell without it's fins extended.Here are some better ones:

Anyone know what this is?
What price range should these sell for?
Females have translucent fins. This specimen has color, so it is at least transitioning, and therefore identifiable with the proper features shown.It doesn’t have big extended fins and almost never flashes. It could be female, I guess. Just looks huge for a subadult. Guess we’ll see what it turns into.
Looks to be C. squirei.Anyone know what this is?
Coloration and extension of the fins are so important for ID these guys. I think it is defiantly a Flasher instead of a Fairy. Looking really hard I can see maybe only one extended dorsalHere are some better ones:

ray that is not 9dark) red. This make it a transitioning McCosker. This, in addition to it been sold to you as a McCosker make this the most likely ID.
If the anal fin is turning red, then it is a McCosker for sure.
Flavianalis can have just one dorsal filament, though if it is not fully developed a second or more may be on the way.Coloration and extension of the fins are so important for ID these guys.

Flavianalis can have one or more dorsal filaments but they are red. The filament I see in this wrasse is not red that is why I don’t think he is a Flavianalis.Flavianalis can have just one dorsal filament, though if it is not fully developed a second or more may be on the way.
I didn't see enough of the anal fin one way or another to see a color difference.
The flasher in question hasn't fully developed it's full coloration in it's fins, so colors can still deepen. In fact at this size further dorsal filaments can still pop up, so without better pics of the fins displayed identification is still not positive.Flavianalis can have one or more dorsal filaments but they are red. The filament I see in this wrasse is not red that is why I don’t think he is a Flavianalis.
This is my wrasse at this time after a few months. Do you think he is positively can be ID as a Melanurus?
