Looking for the name of a fish on Discovery Channel...

I saw this coral reef fish from the Pacific that bites its mate to hold on during matting. It's about 2 inches long, if I remember correctly it was orange, white, and maybe red all swirled together. Also it looked like it sits at the bottom on its pectoral fins, I might be wrong about that.
Does anyone know what fish that is, and is it possible to raise in a tank, and the difficulty novice, beginner, or advanced on the care.

Thank you for your time,
Robert

Cool fish but unfortunately that’s not the right one...
But when I think about it the fish looked a bit like a lacy FW Cory.
I keep searching the web I just can't find em... bummer.

Thanks guys for helping hopefully someone will know, or someone might point me in the right direction.

I found it...

It's a Mandarin Dragonet.
I guess I'll need a bit more experience before I try to raise one of these.
