I had one. They get very aggressive when mature.
Their common name is a rock mover wrasse for good reason. I know you have a fish only but for the benefit of others they eat your snails, hermits, stars and other inverts and turn over you coral searching for food and therefor are not suitable for a reef tank.

They also need a fine sand bed two to four inches as that is where they sleep at night.

Thanks for asking.
