Sandbed for wrasse

So, i when i first set up my tank i wasnt exactly thinking of what was best for my fish. So, my main problem is my sandbed is a mix of fine grade, i think, and crushed coral with shells. So, my question is, with all the shells can i have a wrasse in my 55? Looking at maybe a pinkface/five line or a red head solon wrasse.

Fairy and flasher wrasse don't bury in the sand and should be ok. Anything in the Halichoeres or Macropharyngodon genus would need the finer sand bed.

I have a meleranus wrasse with a cc bed. He does fine with it. When he was first introduced he was bullied so was always under the cc. Now that they all get along he doesnt go under there to often
