Identification - Candy Striped Cardinal from Saltwaterfish.com?

http://www.saltwaterfish.com/Candy-Stripe-Cardinal_p_502.html#

They list it as "Candy Striped Cardinal" with an incomplete binomial (Apogon sp.). This bugs me, because I can't find much based on that common name. Wondering if it might be A. nigrofasciatus or A. cyanosoma.

I emailed them to ask, but I'm not betting on a reasonable answer (if they knew the full binomial, why wouldn't they have posted it already)? So, I'm hoping someone here can help identify this fish.
 
Interesting. That species seems to have vertical "links" between the lines farther back on the body though.

Just found an older thread that suggested Apogon endekataenia. Saltwaterfish.com emailed back and said that they believe they get different species from the collector with this common name, and they currently think they have Apogon moluccensis.
