A friend of mine has a 200gal reef tank and her local fish shop sold her an unidentified fish and assured her that it was good for her tank. Its not actually hers its her dads but she looks after it. Shes sending me a photo which ill put up as soon as I get it but im posting in case someone can identify by description: It has the general body shape of a red snapper, with a spiny dorsal fin. It has a silver body with yellow dorsal, pectoral and anal fins. Shark shaped tail and a black mask over its face. It was also at the time about 3 inches long and extremely aggressive.

Cheers

Perhaps a Magnificent Foxface? (The fins would be yellow tipped, not completely yellow.)

yeah thats the photo i saw. the problem is IVE never seen it either. It mysteriously disappeared before i get the chance so i have to wait on the photo from her. All i have to go on is her description and then suggest fish to her till I get it.
