Well i have had a little maroon clown, so i think... And just the other day i noticed a little yellow/gold on its first stripe.. Could it be a gold stripe maroon? With juvi. gold stripe maroons will their gold come in as they get bigger??

Welcome to SWF....

From what I have read the juvies start out with the white stripe and then the yellow comes in. I could be wrong and others will correct me if so. But if you see yellow chances are you will have a gold stripe maroon clown.
Maroons one of my favorite clowns for sure, they can be quite aggressive but very lovley fish.
What size tank you have and what other fish do you keep??

yes, GSM's start off almost identical to regular marroons. i have a GSM that changed. it is cool to watch the color fill in.
btw a formosa wrasse is totally inappropriate for that size tank, they can get larger than 11"

I have a little guy who is just smaller than an inch and he is already getting a little gold. They(pair) were sold to me as regular maroons but after looking, they are gold.
