Looks like a variety of Pyle's Fairy Wrasse (referred to as a Sunset Fairy sometimes). Easy enough fish to keep, though they can get pretty aggressive with other wrasses. I've found females to be significantly more aggressive than males.

+1, I had a pair but the female eventually chased the male out of the water.
 
It is an immature C. pylei, Cebu variant. Many report aggression with this species toward other flasher and fairy wrasses, but my experiences this has not been the case, but that may be the exception and not the rule.

I have seen it go either way.
