Fish ID help… type of wrasse…

I picked up this wrasse a few weeks ago and was hoping for an ID or help IDing. It was described as Lunate but I haven’t seen a picture of a Lunate Wrasse that has any similar markings.

Not a great picture but taken in 100% whites and from a distance to not spook it.

Juv. Lunar wrasse
Thalasomoa sp
Will eat everything that goes crunch
Beautiful adults but...generally not for reef aquarium
That explains the empty shells all over from the starter CUC. I knew it was the culprit but he was fast.

Anyone want him if I can fish him out over the next few weeks? He’s a great eater and plays nice with all of the other fish
 
It’s funny to read about the wildly different behavior between the lunare and lunate. It was a good price but not great for the long-term stocking of the tank.
