Wrasse ID please...

Couldn't find this wrasse in any of my books, or usual websites. Anyone have any ideas?

I have never kept one. Are they aggressive?

 

[bradleyj]

I have 2 males and they are fine together, and not aggressive to others at all. But I've read on this forum that they are, so I guess it's once again... it depends on the fish.
I would say they are just the same as a normal pylei.

Thank you for the positive ID. I don't know if I have male or female, currently in a 500G. Likes the bottom and doesn't seem to bother anyone.

There must be a lot of these coming in right now.....you guys helped me ID one about a month and half ago.....since then I have seen them listed in a few places and my LFS indicated that they are on their order sheets every week now.

Mine has been a model citizen....my 2-spot tang is not a fan of it, but gets a long with everything else.
