Albert it's not the typical Leopard wrasse that I am thinking of. It's this one.

Nope, not a Macropharyngodon. I sold the fish, I got a good look at its mouth.

* But I am willing to be wrong :P

Edit: I just remembered I have a DOA in the freezer... I might just dissect it to get a positive look at the mouth, cuz I'm gross like that <___<

This is a picture of an argus wrasse someone on reef central thought it was a grey head wrasse? I am still confused.
