I wouldn't take it home if I were you.
From here:

It states that:
Max length : 46.0 cm (approx 18")
Also:
"Feeds mainly on sponges, gorgonians, and algae (Ref. 9710) but also eats hydroids and stinging coral"

Not many home aquariums have their food in a sustainable quantity.

What reputable LFS would consider bringing in a fish that has no chance of survival in this reeefers tank.
Some one should go and give their head a shake.
