this is close but not an exact match- seagrass wrasse or leaf wrasse

I was going thru my pics from last year's CT/NY road trip.
This was in one of the stores. The one with the tank showroom across the street. I think that's House of Fins. Am I right?

 

[AbbeyRoad]

Yeah, House of Fins in CT is the one w/ the sharks and the tank showroom across the street.

I remember the employee identifying it as a dragon wrasse, but I haven't seen a dragon wrasse that looked like it.

I went to house of fins a few weeks ago. great store, prices are high, but they have tons in stock.

I have one of those . . . a male leaf wrasse. He is a great reef fish. A "female" came with him, and SHE exhibited the behavior of the dragon wrasse. She moved rocks that were bigger than she was, and lifted up corals to find snails to eat. Needless to say, she doesn't reside in my reef anymore, but the male is a very nice fish.
They have the neatest eyes . . they are red and move independently. kind of creepy. . . .
