Ya I thought it was similar to mystery wrasse or a secretive wrasse when I first got it but after Doug saw it he said it is definitely a fairy wrasse of some sort.

Either way, I think your fish is a female Laurie. You might be able to get a better ID in a few months when it will probably turn into a dominant male being the only one of its kind in the tank.

Ya right now it looks female. What made me think marjorie wrasse, is the distinctive black dot on the tail. Also it's pinky/red colour on top and white belly is similar to a marjorie too.
Did not know that it could turn male....interesting.....she's just under an inch in size so maybe as she gets bigger or turns into a he I'll be able to tell better.
