Batfish? ID

[Joe del Rey]

Good day everyone!
So I've been in the pet store a while ago to check out and plan what to put in my tank. I saw a fish that looks like a batfish but entirely orange (around 2.5 inch in length and 5 inches high). I've been searching what could this be but to no vail until I came across this YouTube video where it features the exact same fish I saw! It says "MangroveLeafFish" so I searched on it but none appeared. Please help me identify what sorta fish I saw.

I had an orbit and a teirra bat for about 5 years. They have great puppy dog personalities. They grow fast and as they get older their fins shorten making the fish look more like a plate. In that time they outgrew my 220 and needed to be given away.
