Do they look more like yellow banded wrasses when they're juvenile? I bought a tanaka wrasse online even had the latin name stated on the site (Wetmorella Tanakai)
and when I received it, it looked more like a yellow banded wrasse (wetmorella nigropinnata) however I noticed on it's body it has faint white striped that a tanaka would have. Couldn't find any info if they change colour as they mature besides a one or two comments on forum searches claiming they do
Hard to get a good photo of him but this is him:
