There's something fishy about this build...

Hey Sam aka Wrasse nerd,

I bought this wrasse earlier this year. I don’t see it flashing or extending it dorsal fin.

Can you please identify it? If you have an explanation as to why it’s not flashing, please let me know.

I bought it as a whip fin wrasse.

It’s not whipping it’s fin.

Cirrhilabrus filamentosus, one of the closest relatives to cyanogularis.
 
For the yellow its if it has spots on its dorsal fin if I remember. The female has eyespots
Yellow wrasses also gain orange/green striping along the dorsal, anal and caudal fins and throughout the face (not my photo - if I had one, it’d be a leucoxanthus ;))

I have an aquatop one but I think the UV bulb is broken
If you don’t have a UV sorted yet I have one. How many gallons total is your tank? I have the Aqua UV 27 not currently in use as I upgraded. I’m happy to gift it to you.
