Oriental Sweet Lip - Grunt Species - Aquarium Advice

Does anyone know the specific name for this species of Sweet Lip?

If that pic is overexposed and the colors of the fish are off (really brown and white) I would say that it is a Harliquen Sweetlips. If im right, i hope you have him in a tank bigger than 300gal, cuz he will grow over 3 feet long.

he was a rescue, I realize he needs a huge tank and will most likely donate him to my [acronym:747b108ab6="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:747b108ab6].

Thanks for the information, I am doing some research now.
