Yeah I can see that now. There was no pic before. What a beautiful fish, too bad it was nipping at your corals.

Yellow blotch/orange spotted rabbitfish. I know because that is the rabbitfish that I really really really want for my 230g FOLWR tank. You said you're visiting in Jan. right........ What corals was he nipping at?

Well Live Aquaria is wrong I'm afraid...

Guttatus' have a distinct yellow circle near their tailfin.
