I bought this as a pink margin but would like a confirmation
not my picture but its the fish. Thanks

it looks like a female pylei wrasse to me.

the very faint markings on the face looks like a pylei.

it could be a pink margin female too but i'm leaning more towards a pylei. female pink margins do not have the scrawled markings on the face and have a larger tail spot. the spot is absent in larger females.

small juveniles and small female pylei's fairy will have a tiny spot on the caudal penducle like the one posted above. but the spot dissapears with size.

the spot was what was throwing me. I had thought pylei too but had hoped it was the pink margin.

I agree Pylei wrasse.

i have a male pylei that was sold to me as a sunset wrasse $40. I knew it was just a stressed pylei who was faint in color but eating. He has turned out nice so far. I think yours is the female as well.

I paid $30 for mine its doing great and I like it, I just thought it was something else.
