ok i think they may be REDFIN FAIRY WRASSE (Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis )
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Females of this species are orangish-red over the upper half of the head and body, with a white belly, a faint bluish spot at the base of the caudal fin and pale red median fins. The caudal fin has yellowish rays, with reddish membranes between and white flecks along the margins. Males are orange with yellow on the ventral surface of the head and body. The ventral surface of the head also has bright blue and black markings, there are light blue spots on the operculum and on the tips of the pectoral fins, the dorsal, pelvic and anal fins are bright red and the anal and dorsal fins have bright blue margins. The redfin fairy wrasse is closely related to the longfinned fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis); the females of these two species are similar in color, but the latter species has fine blue pin-stripes.
