Wrasse ID??

[flfireman1]

Im a wrasse junky and recently found this guy at my LFS. Only problem is I cant find a proper ID for him. He was labeled as an African Coris Wrasse? Any thoughts or can anyone ID this guy. Looks like something in the Halichores family. I have him in an acclimation box until I get a proper ID, don't want to release him without knowing what he/she is.
Thanks
