has anyone seen one of these?

Yeah Ophiolepis superba, same species commonly found at LFSs and online retailers. They have a pretty variable coloration spectrum so these are the more orangy ones

I ordered one of them and got this.

Definitely the same genus but I'm not sure if that's an O. superba. Unfortunately a lot of online sites that aren't WYSIWYG just pull pictures off the Internet and hope that the picture is of what they're selling. I've found several mistakes on the liveaquaria site as well as many other major e-tail sites
