I can’t find an ID on this fish. Also, is this a female? We have had her/him for 8 months and it was sold as a ruby head.

Male Lubbocks wrasse, there are two color forms.
 
Male Cebu Cirrhilabrus Lubbocki
They seem to grow faster than the Indonesian but also get to a larger size (I have had my Indonesian for around 8 months and he grew to 2-2.5 inches whereas my Cebu was a full 3 inch after I think 8-9 months).
Here’s my Cebu (2 years old currently)

and my Indonesian (Around 8 months old)

Both are males as both variants when young (Juvenile/Female) will look identical.
