Eye color is wrong for flavicauda isn't it? C. striatus?

Could be a hybrid, Ctenochaetus flavicauda x striatus perhaps.

My other thoughts were c striatus or a hybrid of sorts

Would make sense. Their ranges do overlap.

If so cool fish and great score!

That's what I was thinking as well. Lighting might just make the difference...
