Don't you think you have been around in the hobby long enough to avoid these impulse buys?

Understandably, new reefers fall victim to that cute fish at the LFS and post for info on it.
But..........

Buddy, I'm old enough to know better than to impulse buying anything but I still do it.

I searched while in the store for info on it based on what I was told, got home and searched some more. Its not what i was told it was which was why i asked. I was looking at another wrasse and was told it wasn't reef safe so I passed and Was directed to this one.

I impulse buy a lot. Usually Costco

Btw it may be a halichoeres prosopein or one of the rainbow species. 12cm, need a sandbed to cocoon in, territorial, look rather drab as an adult.

If you are into wrasses look at Rude Kuiter's book on them.

I think the first ID is correct. Will not be staying in the tank for long and will take back to the store.
