Could someone help identify this triggerfish? Apparently very rare and expensive.

Only trigger I could find close to those colors is the Orangesided Triggerfish....but they don't seem to be rare or expensive.

The lines above the eye are found in melichthys species and the body shape is similar but the tail would help make an id easier.
