Kinda depends on the origin. It could be a member of the fox fish family
or
if it's coming in with domestic sunfish and ghost shrimps, it could also
be
something native that i'm not familiar with. Fox fish are often
mis-identified as true SAE's but they're actually separate species. If
that
was a true SAE, it's a great fish, because they eat all types of
problematic
algaes, even the dreaded black beard algae.

===============================
This is what it looks like:

Apparently it's known as a Siamese flying fox, is an herbivore and is
supposed to be peaceful but isn't. By the second day they were attacking
the betta and I had to remove him from the tank. I've tried varied foods
but they wont eat what's offered.

I agree that it is a flying fox.
