This little guy as sold as "a wrasse". I want to add more wrasse to the tank so now I need to figure out if he is a Lubbock's Fairee Wrasse or perhaps Lineatus Wrasse?

Cirrhilabrus lubbocki - supposedly these are a smaller species of wrasse but my two both got to 3.5-4 inches. The colour variant that was the same as yours was the smaller of the two but did reach at least 3.5 inches.

Just today one of my lfs's had a Philippins variant. I have an Indo variant now in my 120g. Did you have any issues with the two? How big was your tank? Tia

My tank was a 4’ and I only had minimal issues of display but not huge issues.
