Wrasse ID

[coweyes298]

Can wrasse expert @i cant think help me to identify my cute wrasse? Bought it from LFS and they told me she is Lubbock's wrasse but I couldn't find similar picture except those false dot on tail. She is shy whenever I come close to QT tank so it's very hard to take good pictures. Moved her to DT last night, will try to get more better pictures if possible.

Great choice with tagging @i cant think! Going to also tag @Slocke for extra reinforcement.

I may be wrong but looks like a juvenile Cirrhilabrus exquisitus.

Looks like a member of the cyanopleura complex… perhaps Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis. It’s a transitional male so it’s hard to tell for me

@Tcook @JoJosReef @Crabby48 I’m terrible with fairies

I agree with this. Not great at id’ing and by those pictures it could be a few choices.
