male carpenter's wrasse ?

bought this wrasse a few weeks ago at the local fish store. not sure if this is a young male or a female. i do not have any other wrasses in the tank. can anyone id this fish for me ? i was told it is a carpenter's wrasse at the store.

 

It is not a Carpenter's wrasse, nor is it even a Paracheilinus wrasse (flasher).

It is a sub-male (changing male from female) Cirrhilabrus lubbocki (Lubbock's fairy wrasse).

 

If it makes you feel any better, my C. Lubbocki was also labeled a Carpenter's Flasher when I bought him. I am constantly correcting my LFS on Fairy and Flasher labels. Recently they had a tank full of Whipfins labeled as Lubbock's. I went back the other day and was happy to see them correctly labeled

 

sorry it happened to you too. its been a good fish so far.

 

They are very good tank mates! Mine is a model citizen Here is is now a terminal male (not a great pic):

 

awesome fish, he looks great. they are hard to get pics of.

 

You have the striped variety chum; will look more like this once mature:

 

not what i was hoping for,but lesson learned.thanks
