Wrasse id

What kind of wrasse is this? It was sent to the store as a leopard wrasse...clearly I don't thinking is

.

He is orange red white and blue and the dark parts are a black

It is a leopard wrasse. A little hard to tell species from the pictures and size but I'm going to guess Macropharyngodon ornatus judging by the facial markings.

looks like a leopard to me...

I had him in my tank... Def a leopard wrasse

 

[Bratyboy2]

He swims to much but he is out and about and hasn't dived into the sand yet and was snicking at small pieces of brine in less then an hour of coming in.

...and?

He is def Macropharyngodon ornatus an ornate leopard wrasse. Debating if I want to take it on in my tank...I know I have the room but I was wanting a different leopard wrasse like the potters or the commons...only like the females though

Macropharyngodon ornatus is the correct ID.

Potters are quite difficult to get established in a system; this ornate is a bit hardier.

My body got him instead...I'm tackling a orange spot filefish already and don't have the extra patience to give right now lol
