actuslly found another pic they kind of do just these r very red probs edited like you said
 
Definitely 2 male Roseafascia but an edited photo of them.
They will be pinkier in person with a dominant red band along their dorsal. But it’s mainly the reds coming off as edited, the purples and yellows are generally that vibrant in males.

I keep looking for them but just never pull the trigger on them when I see them as they’re always larger males.
 
Heavily edited Cirrhilabrus shutmani I think but I'm not good with fairies. @Tcook @Crabby48
If one of these was a shutmani I’d have jumped on it when I saw them :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
 
They are a beautiful wrasse. I remember 4 years ago or so they were a reasonably priced upper midrange wrasse. Now they are in Earl’s territory.
Over this side they’re still in the lower triple digits even for a “supermale”
Earlei are one I could never have without fear of their 1K+ tag.
 
Those the wrasse from bluemarine?
If I remember correctly, the OP is from over this side of the pond, so I think those two were posted by an LFS over here (Kraken Corals).
