I saw one in a store but no idea of type. 3-5" appox. Light orange in front and then it roughly turned to a cream white. Sort of like a half melted creamsicle! Body shaped like a lab or zebra. Sorry no pics Any ideas?
Anyone know of a half orange and white cichlid?

Likely a peacock of some sort, not fully grown yet. I saw something similar to your description at the lfs earlier tonight.
Could be a juv peacock or an albino taiwan reef is the strain is right. Could also be a yellow headed tropheops
i just googled albino taiwan reef photos but the colorization is reversed. The fish i saw was orange in front and white in back .
i'd have to say its the Macropthlamus, the albino version, with the yellow/orange around the head.
And yes, the colors will only intensify in peacocks and taiwan reefs as they mature.
