Help!!! Identify this wrasse.....

[DeniseAndy]

I acquired this from another reefer tearing down the tank. He is currently in my QT to recover and identify before I add him to my main display.

I know these are not great pictures, but can anyone identify. He was sold it as a Blue and Red wrasse, which means nothing in wrasse world. I am thinking it is a female changing to male, but not sure.

I currently have a C. solarensis and H. crysus in my 210g. I am adding a pair of C. Pylei in a few weeks and after QT.

Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like a Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura to me.

Thanks. That was one of my two guesses.

Or a Yellow Flanked fairy wrasse Cirrhilabrus lyukyuensis. Both are very sim.
