Default Please identify this wrasse!

Hey everyone!

Just picked up this wrasse from my LFS because a customer brought it back and said it was to mean (Its the most docile wrasse i've every seen!). Im not really sure what it is, I was thinking red fin fairy wrasse since it has a small bit of blue on its chin.

Any Ideas?



Sorry for the bad pic! I can post better later.

I've been looking at photos of the red margin, but it has very different tail colorations.

Looks very similar to one I had a few years ago...sorry can't remember what it was though. It was one of my favorites, very mellow.
