Seem ultra peaceful love eating shrimp and meat food won't touch pellet so even if It is I like him will keep him healthy till he is big enough for a new home

I have a matted filefish. its peaceful and similar to yours but tail is
a fan shape is constantly eating of the rock and is not fazed by the
larger fish. grows to 3-1/2 inches. does yours change colours?

Oh so you bought this fish and its in your tank already? It's tail does look different than the filefish. I'm with Fishoholic on this one. I hope we're wrong though

No it don't but I have the filefish and it does look alike but the tail is way different and color is way different

I don't think it's a look down from the pics I've seen of juveniles they are more camouflaged like weeds.

I think it's a juvenile file fish of some kind of it's not a common one like a matted, but a more uncommon species. I would call the lfs and ask. (mostly because I'm curious as well lol)
Either way a very cool looking fish hope it works out.
