Help with Wrasse ID

[acroholic]

Hi guys,
Can you please help me ID this wrasse? Here is a pic, about the best I could get. He doesn't like a camera shoved in his face.

My best guess is: Longfin Fairy Wrasse, Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis. Thanks for any help.

Not a good pic, but my thought was a whipfin. Is the underside pretty white with a little blue? Can you get a better pic?

Did you get this from Tim?

You're right it looks to be C. rubriventralis. Fairly common and often called the social fairy wrasse.

No u r not. Jin was referring to my guess. I wish your guess was right. That'd be one valuable wrasse if it was.
