Correct ID please

This wrasse was sold to me as a red velvet but all the pics I found look nothing like a red velvet. Anybody got the correct ID

Hmm, thats one I have never seen before. It sure looks like some type of Thalassoma sp. to me though.

It's cool to see something new, especially when you have been doing this for 35 years. Sure is pretty.

I've saw one @ my LFS. They labeled it a blue sided fairy wrasse. Don't know if that is correct but thats what they called it.

Thanks for the replys, by the way how much did your LFS want for him? Here is one more pic for good measure. PICS DO NOT DO HIM JUSTICE

Not sure but if you go here and type in Wrasse it will bring up about 300 of them most of which have pictures
