Potters Wrasse - male/female coloring?

Hello, I was hoping someone could help post or link me to male/female coloring patterns. I have two and they looked identical when I purchsed them aside from one being more orange and the other more yellow. Now the oranger colored one has gotten much bluer and very little orange. The yellow has gotten much brighter yellow. Do I have a male and female possibly?

Thanks in advance for the info,

Paul

2 females.

Fishbase has some nice photos which illustrate the difference; mainly note the difference in the face pattern:

That being said, it is possible you're seeing the onset of a transition. Only time will tell.
