Help ID this fish?

[dezcookies]

Would anyone be able to help me id this fish? I want to get one but I want to research up on it first. Lfs don't even know what they are. They're called lizard fish but I doubt it since my lfs actually don't know much. Many thanks View attachment 255043

Looks like H. Confunzona. Super cool fish. My lfs had some and I regret not getting any.

Wow that's an awesome fish. I have never even seen anything like that. Do you know anything about it?

I believe they like to burrow so sand would be a good substrate. They like to be in groups and generally are peaceful.
