is it a wrasse?

I was diving Redondo Beach in Southern California on Sunday and found this guy in about 20 feet of water:

I couldn't find a match in my fish id books, but it looks like a wrasse. My first impression was that it looked very snake-like, which made me think it could be an eel. The eyes were just about as red as you see them in the picture, although I'm sure the strobe intensified them a bit. The sun had just come out and it was cool to see the eyes glowing red in the shallow water.

What am I?

Red eye, perhaps some visible teeth and the black splotch behind it's pectoral makes it sure sound like it's a male Rock Wrasse in it's terminal phase.
