Need wrasse ID please

[Marti]

This was sold to a friend as a China white wrasse. We can't find any info on it tho.
Anyone know what the name of this is?

don't know but it pretty

The sides are very white, bad lighting made them look a little tan. He's a lot of fun to watch, moves constantly and a bit of a show-off

Looks like Anampses twistii... Here is a link to some information on the genus (not sure how good the info is):

Boy, hate to rain on your parade but the anampses wrasses can be very tough fish to keep.

Thank you for the ID!

I saw him in a LFS and called our friend (he has a 440 gallon tank). The friend has had him for about 2 weeks now. So far he's eating good and healthy. He's showing no sign's of stress or illness, we'll keep an extra eye on him tho.
I'll see if I can find some more info on him.
