Robbins,
Could you give alittle more info on it, Is that a Sub-species of something, like for example a gobie is a Gobiidae
Hawkfish go under the family of Cirrhitidae
Basslets go under the family of Grammidae, or Pseudochromidae
Wrasses are of the Labridae family...
Im not familiar with that name, could it be a Tilefish??

Here ya go:
Tassle Filefish:The Chaetodermis pencilligerus grows up to 12 inches. The Tassle Filefish, Prickly Leatherjacket prefers a tank of at least 70 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim. The Chaetodermis pencilligerus is a omnivore and likes to eat variety of chopped foods (meats & veggies) like , krill, scallop, shrimp, squid, clam. The Tassle Filefish, Prickly Leatherjacket is a low maintenance fish and may act peacefully toward other fish. This is a fairly hardy fish. Reef-safe. Needs plenty of places to hide (substrate). Filefishes are available seasonally and geographically. Don't let their shy, delicate appearance fool you, a few make interesting, affordable aquarium specimens. Keep water quality high (SG 1.020 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F). The Tassle Filefish, Prickly Leatherjacket is commonly collected from the Indian Ocean.
