I believe that's a blotched anthias.

Expensive, IMO

Borbonius (Blotchy) Anthias - Saltwater Fish - Anthias

The Borbonius (Blotchy) Anthias, Odontanthias borbonius, is hermaphroditic meaning all are born females, and when needed the dominant female turns into male. Though they are one of the few Anthias species that does not display sexual dimorphism. They feature a pink body color with a rustic gold...

+1 on blotched

 

[Gernader]

Yes, it is a borbonius/ blotched anthias.

The school that BRS has in their tank is awesome looking. Especially now that they're big. Color and pattern really is different when they get big.

Agree, blotched anthias. How much did you end up paying for this guy? Typically they run pretty costly so people that get it already know quite a bit about it.

 

[FREAKINRICAN69]

Blotched for sure. They’re beautiful and expensive!

 

[GaryM1966]

I just seen it in the video and thought it was fantastic looking, by the sounds of it, it would cost a lot, but its to big for my little tank, so I'll just aware the beauty from afar

I was just asking Halal, fantastic looking fish.

 

[Miller535]

Yeah, at over $300 a fish, that generally need a small school to do ok. That's an expensive school. I too admire from a far.

I must admit I've never really seen the appeal of these but know most people love them. If I was in the market for a similar fish I'd choose the fathead anthias because I think they are nicer but also far cheaper.
