Social wrasse, Whip Fin wrasse...
Try this on a search Cirrhilabrus filamentosus.
This is my favorite fish, to date (aside from the ponies)

kinda looks like that one too. I'm thinking its whip fin wrasse though. I sent an e-mail to SWF.com for scientific name. Thanks for your help.

ok, mystery solved.
Per swf.com the picture i posted is pennant fairy wrasse-Cirrhilabrus Joanallenae
Which is related to - Social or red fin fairy lrasse. Cirrhilabrus Rubriventrailis
which looks a lot like the one poniegirl posted
Paracheilinus Filamentosus-aka whip fin / flasher/filament fairy wrasse.
