Well, if it looks yellow - then it's a yellow fuzzy dwarf, and if it looks faded brown... I'm sure you get the idea.
Taxonomically, they are the same fish. There are browns, reds, and yellows - and all ranges in between. Some are brighter than others, but they're the same fish.

The price should tell you; the true yellows are $$$$$. I doubt a collector would make a mistake, the yellows have a very restricted range, interesting color, though. (Maybe jaundice.

The only problem with that is this LFS doesnt seem to know when he really has something sometimes-- I have seen the lionfish there mislabeled a few times and thought I might be able to get in on this guy if the same holds true. I just have never seen a true yellow in person so it is difficult for me to tell. Right now it is just listed as a fuzzy but I have actually seen the volitans in there as well listed the same

looks like a yellow fuzzy to me. i would snag it if you can get it for cheap, and you have a place to put it.

I agree. If it looks in person like it does in the first photo, I'd nab it.
