Personally I think it is some type of wrasse. Cant say which because I dont know much about wrasses, but it looks like that to me.

I agree i dont think its an anthias either. Heres a purple one i found https://www.azgardens.com/p-1578-purple-queen-anthias.aspx

The tail is much different from anthias. I tend to think it might be a wrasse too...still searching around for ya.

It has the body and general look of a coris wrasse, but I have never seen this coloration. It is bothering me that I dont know................

Hmmm can you get a better pic of it?

looks like a member of the basslett family. or even a small grouper. mouth looks to big to be a wrasse. i could definitly be wrong.

It was in a reef aquarium at the Tennessee Aquarium with a couple of clowns and firefish. That was the picture I could get, he wouldn't sit still lol. Thanks for all the help.

Picture isn't the best. Can more of a close up be taken?

But from what I can see I say either anthias or wrasse.... leaning towards the fairy wrasse more then the anthias.
