I'd say it's probably a Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis or a Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura

^ I'm inclined to agree.

Here are some photos for the op.

I purchased four of these exact wrasses from LA, identified as C. cyanopleura

C. cyanopleura. The yellow back of C. aurantidorsalis is unmistakeable and bright vivid yellow/orange, not mottled with blue like the wrasse in the photo.

There are female C. solorensis that look a lot like this too, and I think there is some confusion about whether the two are different species or not. Luiz, you reading this?
