Hey guys I was in my LFS yesterday and saw this fish. It was probably about 1.5 to 2inch long. The employees dont know what it and the owner wasn't there any ideas? Also care requirements?

It looks like a Jackknife Fish. According to LiveAquaria, it originates in the Caribbean, carnivore, can grow to 9" in length and typically not reef-safe.
