Looks like a variant of Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura. The ones I have look just like that.

Thanks for the wrasse tip!

I went on to google and typed in Orange back (b/c the dorsal fin is orange) + wrasse and voila!

It would be awesome if I could get him under the right lighting for him to look like that :)
