Melanurus Wrasse female or male?

Hello all, I ordered a female wrasse from a company, but when this juvenile came, it seems to be a male to me? Am I wrong?

^ agree; male

Thanks, yeah I thought so too. I have a bigger male in there, don’t need two males, sounds like a bad idea...

That is a male.
