Stephanolepis setifer, I think it's called.
Okay... I've been poking around, and I found a few things out.
Apparently there's a pygmy filefish that lives in sargassum seaweed. It can be differentiated from sargassum filefish by two long spines on its fins.
Does anyone know anything about these? They look really cute... I'd like to keep one, assuming they stay little.
How large do they get? Food? And, most importantly, are they mean?
Coral picking isn't much of a concern... The tank will have a few assorted zooanthids and some 'shroom corals, maybe some kind of soft coral, but it'll mostly be macroalgaes.

It's extremely unlikely that the species is aggresive.

I'd like to know if, like the Matted Filefish, they eat Aiptasia...

I mostly need to know how large they get and what they need to eat.
