Chris, your fish is not H. melanurus. It is H. ocellatus. H. melanurus (aka tail-spot wrasse) has a spot in the middle of its dorsal fin and another on the dorsal side of its caudal peduncle. Your fish has two spots on the dorsal fin, none on the peduncle. The facial patterns tell me it is H. biocellatus. It's still growing as the full adults lose the dorsal spots but it's almost there.
