The addiction is about to begin for me now that I have a screen top in the making along with a quarantine tank. I plan on going with 2 maybe 3 fairies and maybe a male & female pair of leopards.

I would say male Nahacky. I'm by far no expert but from what I've seen in person and on the net the Hooded is a darker red and the dorsal fin is also more red(Nahacky more yellow). They are soooo similar though that it's so difficult to say for sure.
Maybe this will help a little

Looks like it to me. Depending on when you got it, this could be him at the collecting station...

I bought those same wrasses recently too. Weird. Western LFSs maybe have the same supply source...

Orange Back Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis)



Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki)



McCosker's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus mccoskeri)




PS- I totally blame this thread for getting my hamster wheel going...
