Thanks, its a tailspot/melanurus/Hoevens wrasse Haliochoeres melanurus. It does have a spot on the dorsal fin closer to the tail. I wouldn't say it was invert safe but I've never tempted fate as I've seen him go to town on various stomatella snails and any mini brittle star that makes the mistake of having a leg exposed.
Here is an older photo of that purple acro, its been through a rough time and now that its getting bigger I often give it a good whack with the magnet cleaner as its getting too close to the glass, as a result it is growing rather oddly in some places and has quite the odd coloration. I can't get a decent shot because I still can't get anything in between it and the glass to clean the algae off the glass.
