I am not sure it is what I ordered but I know they come in different colorations so maybe.

What do you think it is?

Paracheilinus carpenteri, P. flavianalis, or P. mccoskeri.

Need to see the dorsal/anal fins to make a distinction.

My chips would be on P. carpenteri right now, but P. flavianalis isn't far behind.

Here is the best shot I could get of the dorsal and anal fin out

What I ordered was a reef safe Blue Head Fairy Wrasse.

Could it be that, or did I get the wrong fish?
 
No, this is Paracheilinus flavianalis, the Yellow-fin Flasher Wrasse.

Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura is the Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse.

Neither the same genus nor species.
