Can anyone ID this wrasse?

Lunare Wrasse

Or Possibly a Melanarus Wrasse still going through the color shift

I’m very confident it is not a melanurus.

 

[ReefQueen]

stethojulis trilineata

Edit: they ARE reef safe, but are very hard to keep in captivity.

Here's a link for some info on your new ( by the way rare in the trade ) little friend.

Yup, Stethojulis are near impossible to keep in most aquaria.

I love Humus too! But I’m from Hawaii and it’s a protected fish. You’ll never see one in an aquarium in Hawaii. Unless...;Facepalm
