Wrasse Identification

[JakartaOrBust]

I have no pic but if anyone has been to JL's recently there is a fairy wrasse (a tank of them actually), on the bottom right hand side. The staff said they were ordered as Cirrhilibrus Condei. But the pelvic and dorsal fin seem much bolder of a black (Dark black like that of a hooded fairy wrasse) than any picture I have found. Is it maybe just a trait in males and that all the pictures I see online are females? It is a very nice fish in any case. Just wondering if anyone saw them at the store and new exactly what they were.

You don't have a pic but I looked at Kuiters book.
The difference between the male and female is that the males have a black margin on the dorsal fin and a white line along the base of the fin.
If the fin is all black it is not what they say it is.
Having said that, as you may know I read that sometimes these fish interbreed so it may be a half and half fairy wrasse.
