Hard to tell, but it looks like a parrot wrasse, very common in Hawaii, neat fish. If im correct, it would be a teenage one.. they are one of the wrasse that go through many changes through out their lifespan, and can chew through live rock.. but will need a bit more clear shots to know.. but I know getting a picture of a wrasse isnt easy.
Actually.. I think im totally off.. hence the edit.. I think the Parrots typically have the yellow stripe on the tail too.. hm.. you got me scratching my head now.. double check Live Aquaria see if you see any in the Wrasse section there that appear close.

Quote from Bob Fenner:
"Though Stethojulis are planktivorous and don’t get too large (most are about six inches long maximum) they do have one shortcoming: they rarely live for any time in captivity. They're just too active/spastic, requiring large, uncrowded settings. They should only be tried in HUGE, well-established reef systems."

LFS didn't order this fish, but, they were shipped.. Store tried to id it the best they can. It was identified as Halichoeres wrasse. anway... this fish should be somewhat reef safe, and it will eating from day 1 in the store. I hope this fish will live for awhile.

I saw the same fish and it looks so much like a parrotfish that I didn't want to risk bringing home a potentially non-reef-safe fish. Beautiful fish though. Hope it does well for you.
