Flasher Wrasse ID & Help

[Rilelen]

I recently ordered a male and female McCosker's flasher wrasse from BZA, which arrived yesterday. They were in pretty rough shape and I was positive they were dead when I initially got them, but seemed okay-ish after acclimating and were both eating today. However, I have my doubts about the "female", especially today. "She" has been flashing and seems to have the showy fins usually associated with male flasher wrasses. I have a video below of both of them yesterday, where it's not quite as obvious. "She" is also slightly larger than the male and appears to be quite aggressive towards him, to the point that I am getting quite worried. They're in a 72 gallon bowfront, the only other tankmates are a pair of percula clownfish and a couple peppermint shrimp.

I have much better photos, but am having difficulties uploading them to my computer, I will have them here as soon as I can.

Basic question: what kind & gender of fish do I have here? If they are two males, what do I do?

Finally got the pictures to load! Apologies for the poor quality, they are quick snapshots and I didn't go back in and fix the white balance or anything:

Here is the male McCosker's first...pretty sure he is just what he's supposed to be (unless you all tell me otherwise):

And for comparison here is the "female" McCosker's with her fins flared (she normally keeps them tucked in close):

Is this really what a female McCosker's is supposed to look like? If not, what is "she"?

I think "she" is an initial phase male McCoskers. The first is a terminal male McCoskers.

I agree, both males. They should still get along and flash at each other though.

Thanks guys, that's what I suspected, nice to have it confirmed, though. Just out of curiousity, if I should happen to come across a female in the future, would adding a female to a tank with two males be a bad idea or increase aggression?

I don't really mess with female wrasses anymore other than to get a better price, they always end up males in the long run.
