wrasse identification

[maxone]

I bought a wrasse labeled melanurus wrasse a while ago and it looked like one so I bought it but after a few weeks it started to fade colors a bit it's a bit more of a tan color now not a lot of blues and the tail fin is clear along with the pectoral fins.

Can you post a pic (under white light so the colors are clear)?

Yes, but depends on what you paid.

Melans are around 50 in my area. Those leopards are over 100 online. So.
