Wrasse ID please

Little help with an id on this new wrasse. I can't really find any pics of something like it.

Its definitely a fairy wrasse, Kinda looks like a blue sided fairy wrasse, or maybe a Orange Back Fairy Wrasse.

it looks like a ruby head fairy wrasse. I have one right now in my 90g and it looks very similar.

I agree with wrasseguy2.

It is a female solarensis.

I had a C. cyanopleura (the ruby head fairy wrasse) for 4 years. You can tell the difference between one of those and a female solarensis by how far back the red goes on the head. On the C. cyanopleura, the red only goes back to the fin. On the female solarensis, the red goes back past the head/fin onto the body.

Looks like a fairly wrasse to me.

Yup - C. solarensis (solar fairy) and C. cyanopleura (ruby head fairy) are both fairy wrasses.
