Default Razorfish

A big thanks to the boys @ Ocean City in Calgary for a cool new fish. I was told this is a razorfish but can't seem to find any pics or info on it. Its about 6" long, 1" high and pretty much paper thin. It really likes plankton and mysis... Other than that I don't know much about it. Any info would be great. Here it is.

OK. I finally found out what this fish is. The scientific name above, or Razor Goby or Blue Barred Ribbon Goby. from the Phillipines, and a harmless tankmate.

This is quite an interesting fish to watch. Very calm and relaxed. One of the really neat characteristics of this fish which cound not catch in the picture is a bright orange stripe that runs down the middle of its face between its eyes. I would recommend one for any reef tank.

I'd guess its of the Xyrichtys genus. I googled it and got similar but not identical fish.
