Bret61081 - Does yours have the false eye. Not convinced about it being Ornate. Different colouring and no false eye. It mostly resembles a potters, but, again, no false eye and they are collected outside of the range this LFS stocks from. It is only a Juvi so may change coloring.
Jury is still open

Earlier in the week I saw the same tank at one of our lfs here in bangkok and it had a about seven of them all ranging in size all exactly the same colour this was one of the smallest at about 3 inches the biggest was around 5 inches.
I first thought ornatus but not sure really, not many fish get out of Thailand due to regulations, So it could be an endemic to thailand if so, most likely the Andaman side looking at the other fish in the shop, powder blue tangs, a. eppiphium, melanistic A> clarkii, and lyretail anthias are not usually found on the gulf side.
