Help Identify This Wrasse

[MINIATUS]

I cannot find any info or pics of this wrasse anywhere. The only thing Im sure of is that it is not a spanish hog Fish.

No idea! Beautiful fish though.

Did the LFS have any clue? Common name? Which ocean?

Someone traded it in, and like you thought it was a nice looking wrasse. They didnt get a name for it.

Looks like an Halichoeres garnoti in the initial phase, also known as the Yellowhead wrasse.

Juveniles have an electric blue stripe in the middle, and I believe this fish is normally called a Neon wrasse.
