Fish Id (New Zealand)

Hey Folks,
Hoping someone can help me out with this fish,A small one for the Fishtank but still VERY curious to know what it is!

Caught it a few months back in Auckland and at the time was told by a man fishing next to me that it was probably a Parrot Fish,

Allthough looking online i am beginnging to doubt it!

It looks like a Wrasse but yet again im not getting much joy identifying it online.Hope Someone might be able to help me out even though its a long shot cheers

It certainly has the look of a wrasse...
Why dont you post it on WSF in the New Zealand/Austrailia section.More chance of getting an ID
