What is the common and scientific name of this fish?

I know that it's a fairy wrasse, but I don't know the exact scientific or common name. Can someone please tell me the scientific and common names of this fish?





Here is the picture of the fish:

What is the common and scientific name of this fish?
Because there are SO many species of fish, that are in the genus Cirrhilabrus, it is very difficult to narrow down the species by just a picture.





However... I believe this looks like the Red/Rosy-scaled Fairy wrasse...


That would mean it's scientific name is Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis.





If this isn't the correct fish, I suggest either looking up the genus of Cirrhilabrus or Paracheilinus to narrow down your search.





Hope this helps! :)

Reply:It looks like the rosy scales or red velvet fairy wrasse(same fish but both are their common names). The latin name(I had to look this up) is Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis. I'm not 100% sure on the ID though but it does look like it. Coloration and markings can vary slightly on fish of the same species. I'm going by the red that fades to yellow with the purple tinge to the fins.
