You're welcome!
Is the one in the photo yours? He's beautiful

 

[cristhiam]

yes, I can't find a lot of info on it. Got it today and it ate frozen food and dug a hole under my thorny oyster. Pretty cool fish.

Not a sandperch... they have deeper bodies.

Like Angel*Fish said, it is Parapercis schauinslandi--indeed a Pinguipedid (or sandperch). This individual is a juvenile. What sandperch are you talking about that has a deeper body? The entire family is described as elongated, fusiform fishes, certainly not deep bodied ones.
