Not C. schwartzi. this species has a black blotch at the base of the first two or three dorsal rays, this colour extends up into the first two soft rays. the dorsal spine is grey. Your fish looks closer to C133 although it does not look in the best of health.

Thanks and your right about its health, it was a trade in and i'm not sure if its an older fish or just not taken care of very well.
