Fish ID Please

Hi all,

I have this cool looking wrasse that was labeled as a Dusky Wrasse, but I'm having difficulties finding an image of one similar to mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Halichoeres prosopeion. Gets about 6 inches. That is the adult color form.

+1, or common name of two toned wrasse. Definetly not a dusky wrasse. The juvenile form is pretty nice looking.

Thank you both for the responses. It's a great looking fish even if it was mislabeled at the fish store.

Cheers!

We'd call it a purple headed wrasse and they do have a subtle beauty as adults but are downright stunning as juvi's.
