what is this?

I saw this little guy in the store the other day and just had to have him. The people in the store had no idea what type of fish he was (someone traided him in for another fish). Anyone know what he is?

in that you'll need a bigger tank, and every time you clean his tank you need bite and scratch resistant gloves
