    This is the best shot I have been able to get of the Wrasse.

    Very pretty color, give it time and it will come out. Can't tell if it is a fairy or flasher wrasse.

    Thank you...I'm pretty sure its a Fairy Wrasse...and I'm pretty sure it is a Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse. It looks very similar to this photo, with less of the lighter scales on the end...the red continues farther. Tail is identical, and head looks identical.
