Looks like a wrasse of some sort.

 

[seafansar]

Bump. I have an idea on what it might be, but lets just say I hope I'm wrong.

Cirrhilabrus Invisibleadae - Invisible Wrasse

Also it's about 4" long.

That's weird. I can see them and that other person could. Can you see them now?

 

[SushiGirl]

Can see them now, but don't know what it is LOL.

Nope not a wrasse its a striped Blanquillo Malacanthus latovittatus. Its in the tilefish family gets to around 13 inches

Great fish for your 28 gallon tank at 13 in.
Another example of research BEFORE you buy

 

[seafansar]

Another reason not to bash before you research! It's not my fish!

 

[scchase]

Don't hammer him too hard its a fish so unusual I only know one place you could even find an ID on it much less finding any experience of people who have kept one

 

[seafansar]

Thanks for the ID! At least it's not a juvenile cobia like I thought.

It's in a 180 gallon BTW. Someone on a different forum has it and wanted an ID. No one knew what it was, so I posted here. She says it's a really cool fish. Swims around with her tang and burrows a lot which would make sense for a tilefish.
