Is there a difference in Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish?

Prepping for an LA/DD order, I see Indonesia, Maldives, and Hawaiian ones, just wanted to know if there were any differences between then before I selected one.
 
Forcipiger flavissimus is much more common in the industry. Forcipiger longirostris has a longer nose. Both are considered reef safe, with longirostris being considered even more so.

I agree. If location is a choice I would go with Hawaii
