Store has this wrasse listed as Lunar Wrasse but I never saw a lunar with this coloration or the two spots, one on dorsal fin the other on tail.

I had never seen them with the two dots. After looking at a lot more images I agree it matches. Just surprised by the dots.

That is a gorgeous juvenile Thalassoma lunare.
