had this brought back to me by some divers mixed in with some fish I ordered.
Anyone has any idea what this is?

This is a Stripey. Do you know where it was collected? I think it is a juvenile Stripey, too but it also reminds me a bit of a Hi hat or Drum for some reason?

collected here in Pattaya Thailand
looks like a stripey but i thinks its body is slightly more elongated as I see more round with the stripey?
the description tends to work though as he sure aint shy and eats like crazy. Smallest thing in my tank now but he fights of any other fish going for its food.

might not even be a fish common in the trade as it was collected wild?

I just got two of these, they are called target fish, they are in the bass family, they are not reef safe and they get around 12 inches.
