Gold Nugget Wrasse?

I bought one last week. So far I love him. Very chill fish. It’s not a leopard wrasse. If you can, get one while they are around. I regret not buying 2 when I had the chance.

Any owners have any updates on this fish? I'm concerned about it being reef safe. I had to move mine to an observation tank a few months back, and I'm ready to put it back into the DT. But it has done in a trio of Black Mollies in the OT. Not sure if it got any hermits or snails.

Most coverage of the fish says they should be reef safe. I started digging further and found this on Quality Marine: "They are carnivores and will consume invertebrates like marine worms, crustaceans, dove snails, limpets, fish larvae, squid and may pick at coral polyps. Provide a diet rich in meaty based foods as well as small amounts of seaweed for continued good health. "

Since I took the wrasse out of the DT, I've put a pair of Cleaner Shrimp and many Halloween Hermits in that tank.

Do I dare move the Gold Nugget Wrasse back into the DT?
