Hi,
First, it blends in so well with the substrate, I'm not
really sure exactly what it is.

The main thing I want to mention is some advice. You
cannot immagine how many aquarists get into trouble by
purchasing fish that look good or cute, but have no idea
what it is, how big it gets, or its temperament.

You should do one of two things FIRST. Either always take
a book identifying fish and giving information on them
with color pictures for ease of looking them up, OR,
walk across the aisle and look the fish up in one of the
many books the pet shop has on the racks. If you cannot
find the fish, or learn about it, do not buy it.

These unknown fish frequently turn into monster fish in
either size, appatites, temperament, or territory demands
and will wreck havoc in what was a peaceful tank.

If you don't know what it is, don't buy it, and, unless
you really, really KNOW the store owner, don't trust what
some of them say. They frequently import all sorts of
small immature fish, because they sell, and they have no
scruples. Then the fish grow into tank busters and the
new owner (you) have no way to take care of it.
