Smasher ID

We got this little guy last week and we are trying to figure out what smasher species he is. Can anyone help out please?
Not sure how to attatch the picture. Keeps saying error uploading.
He has dark brown on his side's and like a light tan strip down his back and tail.

It isn't a smasher. It is a Pseudosquilla ciliata.

Lol thanks Roy. After doing a lot of searching and not finding this one listed under smasher I had a feeling it was a spearer.
Lol now I have to figure out if it's a boy or girl. I have another spearer but she's green and about a year and a half.
I'm gonna call the fish store and let them know to change the label lol
