Whip Fin Fairy turning male?

Just Reefin'
So we picked up a Whip Fin Fairy Wrasse about a month and a half ago from Aquapros and has been a great fish so far.. When I got back home, I looked up the Whip Fins and man they were nothing like what we had, so I just figured she might be a female....

Couple of days ago the tail fin started to get some blue colors and the top fin started to turn neon orange as compared to her boring brownish\red body.... So I came home today, the orange top fin was super neon, and went upstairs to get some dinner. Came downstairs for a beer, and her body was all orange, and blueish lines going through her... She was flying around the tank, flashing under the Radions, and changing back and forth between the male and female.... My Wife and one year old sat there and watched her flash and change back and forth for a good 30 minutes... amazing!

Anyways, here's some pictures of her in a not so special color, but trying to get some flashing orangeish colors.. My guess is in the next couple of days, She will be a He!! Interestingly enough, our Lubbock's is getting some way brighter colors......

Cool. At least yours is turning male. My yellow watchman goby turned female. Now it's grey with black stripes.

My YWG is that way but my guess is because he\she was in our 60 cube overflow for 3.5 months and lived in the darkness with almost no food.... Hopefully he will color up in this tank.

The Whip Fin is back to her normal color this morning, who knows how this is going to shake out.
