Is this Aust. Scotts wrasse

[DeltecRules]

Is this an Australian Scott's wrasse? I bought this guy from my local LFS for $120.00 he is about 5 1/2 inches and beautiful.

that is what it appears to be.

But I think this is the Fiji one, Aust has more blue colour on its body.

My LFS said it was caught by the coral sea and great barrier, so I would assume its an australian species.

I have one the same size and coloration and I was told by Bronco that mine was an australian scott's from Holmes reef. I believe Bronco...<-some number I don't remember is the expert on fairy wrasses. If you don't have a female for him he will turn almost all dark blue and mine is a 4 time murderer he has killed 3 other fairy wrasses and a cleaner wrasse...I watched him do it.
