Saw him at the LFS about 4 months ago and had to have him. 
They don't call these guys "rock movers" for nothing. This little guy is a one fish construction company, and I have watched him pick up and move pieces of coral that have to outweigh him 10:1. He spends hours scooping sand in his his mouth and depositing them into a large mound. He then will grab pieces of coral and move them to the top of the mound to complete his bunker. It's absolutely fascinating to watch. He sleeps deep under the sand of his bunker, in true wrasse fashion.
He's not a picky eater, and he doesn't squabble with his tankmates as long as they don't spend too much time hovering around his bunker.
I can spend hours watching him work.............
Here's some hasty pics..........forgive the tank. Cleaning day is Saturday.
