Are these the same fish? (Terelabrus)

Thinking about buying one of these but I like the one in the video with the bright yellow stipe more than the one in the pic that seems more white. Is is just a bad pic and they are the same or are they 2 different types of Terelabrus?

Could be wrong, but IIRC there is a white striped one and a yellow striped one, and these two are different species originating from the Maldives and Indonesia.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. The live aquaria one seems to have a faint yellow on the stripe so I'm not sure which it is. Either way I ordered it today so I'm hoping it colors up like the one in the video. With the coupon code and my rewards cash it was a pretty good deal.

Likely different. If I remember there are several species that look similar with subtle color differences. There may also be a large difference in price between them if i remember correctly...
