I think this is:

Stethojulis bandanensis
Red shoulder wrasse

do they come into the trade often?? and I paid $24.99 for it... is it a good price?

The one I had was very shy and took awhile to start feeding. They bury themselves in the sand to sleep so don't be surprised if he seems to be missing. Also, they are skittish, so I would reccommend having a cover on your tank to prevent jumping. Hope this helps.
