Holy crap! you are right! I think it is Anampses ... maybe Anampses melanurus?</em> except the spots are blue and not white. I'll keep searching. Thanks!

Anampses are very poorly studied, both in the aquarium, as well as in the wild. But, based on the mouth structures, and overall appearnace, its some kind of Anampses.

Thanks guys. It looks like Anampses to me too. I think it is likely a female melanurus.
