Anybody know what type of fish this is?
They were called "target fish" but in trying to research if they are reef safe, that doesn't seem to be a real fish...

I can't find too much on them either, and I can't find any other red ones from a 5 min google search, but there is more out there under the Latin name than "target fish"

I probably jumped the gun, but I like the flash of silver and black..
Anyway they are in my tank now and I'm hoping they don't mess with my coral.

They look like a form of jack fish so they may git realy big

I was in petco yesterday getting dogfood and stopped to look at the fish. I remember seeing some of these little guys.

I did a little search and what I found is 60 gallon min tank, and they are brackish water fish. There temperment is also rated as "beware" and it also states they will eat smaller fish.
