Hello everyone, I have attached a picture of 4 exquisite fairy wrasse I ordered and wanted to confirm or lay to rest my suspicion that they are from Maldives or African and not Fiji. should be 1 male and 3 female. I'm also wondering about the sex if anyone would like to chime in. The fish store has been very nice but I'm just curious before I confirm the order.

Thank you!

Yes, it is the West Indian variety from Kenya/Maldives.

The large one is a male, the next in size is a female transitioning to male, and the 2 small ones are female, but are showing a stress pattern.
 
Thank you for the replies. Kind of frustrating that the store tells me first that they will be from Figi and then they are not. I will still accept them, minus the med sized one as I believe it will be a male myself and don't want them fighting. I just hope that 3 will still cause the harem effect and spawning.

I've spent almost a year setting up this system just for these wrasse.
