Halichoeres brasiliensis, Brazilian Wrasse

Hello just wondering if anyone has had experience with these fish, or do all the fish in the family behave alike. Just want to know if they are reef safe and won't turn over rock, etc. I saw them at the lfs and their color is just unbelievable.

they are a typical halichoeres but get much larger. not a good idea with smaller invertebrates like snails, shrimp, crabs. shouldn't do much to a solid aquascape but i've had a medium sized one flip over brains & plate corals on the sandbed. great fish otherwise.
