I accidentally photographed this little guy that was sharing the anemone with Red Sea anemonefish. Any help with ID? It is from Hurghada, Red Sea.
Fish ID?

Common name is "6-line wrasse" It's a pretty common aquarium fish. Don't have my book handy to get you genus and species, sorry.

Thanks - now that I know what it is the identification is so much easier to do! 
Latin name is Pseudocheilinus hexataenia, and images indeed match very nicely to both Kuiter's book as well as Lieske&Myers's drawing.
