Default Fish Id please

Was at a lfs yesterday and they had a butterfly that resembled a copperband, just not with the long snout, any ideas as to what it is, the person serving me wasn't sure and I was in a bit of a hurry so I blasted out after I grabbed some supplies..

No, It really looks like a Copper Band except with a short nose and the stripes aren't quite as copper in colour, 2 spots on rear fin.
Found a pic of them here.
