It looks like a type of pencil wrasse, but I'm not sure specifically what type, but the stripe down the side is pretty characteristic of them.

Try this, link http://www.fishlore.com/Pictures/Pro...wrasse-lg2.jpg

The tail markings and the stripe are what gave it away.

It is a pencil wrasse. It's reef safe, but may go after small shrimp. It is hard to keep alive though, kinda like a leopard wrasse.

These are notorious jumpers. Cover your tank until you get a piece of glass or screen for it.
