yellow coris wrasse

[Kigs!]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two kinds with similar aka names right?

This one;
Halichoeres chrysus

and this one, what's the scientific name for this one?

scroll all the way down for pics. won't let me directly link.

Or are they the same, just male/female? I don't remember my old coris wrasse having those rainbow striation under the chin area. Any help would be apprecieated.

Top left: female coris wrasse. Bottom left: male coris wrasse (note that this image does no justice to the red and green highlights seen in person). Right: the pair on the hunt in the zoanthid garden.​

Taken from caption from your link. My guess is that they are the same fish, just male/female as you stated. The caption specifically mentions the red/green seen in your first pic (on the male, ergo perhaps yours was a female???).​
