I got this fish at the LFS and he was labeled yellow fin flasher wrasse $45. To me it looks like a pylei wrasse. What do you think?

Thats what I thought. Do you thinks its male or female? If its a male Id say thats a pretty good deal considering its on Divers Den for $130.

Looks like a pylei to me, I have two females collected from Vanuatu. It looks male to me because there is no black spot right before the tail fin. Would be easier to tell if it was flashing the flame wrasse you have lol. Can't tell how long the pelvic fins are in your pic, but I would say male. Probably collected from Cebu, which is a good deal for $45. I paid $100 each for two females.
