I saw this cutie at the LFS... what kind of wrasse is it?

I'm not sure. Responding so that I will be notified of responses as I want to find out too. It is a beautify fish.

I believe it a Coris Wrasse changing from Juvy to Adult coloration....could be wrong.

It is a Radiant Wrasse I believe (Halichores iradius).

I think Pinkie might be right. Top fin is a little different though.

Yep, good call, probobly a juvenile before it develops the spots.

The one you linked to is a female mel. Males do not have the spots on their dorsal fins, so your's is a male as far as I can tell.

Here is a link to a male:
