Saw a few of these and have no idea. Looking through Humann & DeLoach I found a couple that are similar but don't really match.

coney in bi-color phase.
I believe it is just genetic variations within that species, I have seen all 3 variations on the same reef before.

Not sure it's a genetic issue. I think they change pigmentation and sex with age.

Thanks for the ID. No way I would have guessed coney from Humann & DeLoach. The pictures they show are dark orange, dark orange and white (same pattern but way different color), and solid lemon yellow. Nothing even close to black and white even in the description.

The spots and lip markings are the same independent of phase
