Wrasse identification?!

[UncleSalt]

My wife purchased a new Wrasse. The store wasn't exactly 100% sure what it was, but my wife liked it enough she bought it anyway. Can someone please help identify what specific Wrasse this is?!

My first thoughts are "Linespot Flasher Wrasse"

Or the "Filamented Flasher Wrasse"

My wife said that at the store they believed it was a 'Royal Flasher Wrasse'

Looks like an Eight Line Flasher to me? It's in it's stress colors, I was just going by the blunt head shape.

I'd lean towards Filamented or carpenters.

some kind of flasher or fairy wrasse to me

Eightline and carpenters have a rounded tail. Filamented flashers have long filaments on the dorsal. Angulatus does not have filaments on the dorsal. It is angulatus, royal flasher.

I can see it being Angulatus but due to the resting dorsal in the picture I still feel like it could be Filamented. I guess we'll see when OP gets a happy pic of it. Either way nice fish, congrats

I wish s/he'd get happy...he stayed by that rock most of the night, and then sometime over night, moved to a different rock. How long do they usually stay stressed?

Looks like mine. I was told royal flasher wrasse too but I can't find much info on him to confirm 100%

Mine hid for about 3 days, then out he went and started eating a special meaty blend I make. He mostly cruises on the middle or top area of the tank now.
