Cockerel Wrasse

Recently Divers Den has been getting Cockerel Wrasses. Does anyone know anything about them or ever kept one. The only info I could find is in Scott Michaels book on wrasses and parrotfish. I like how they look but know nothing about them.

Fishbase states they can grow to 15 cm and are quite cryptic. I have never heard of the fish until you posted. Just looking at the shape, looks like a meat eater to me. How much are they going for on DD?

From memory I am guessing that they were about $80 but I am not sure. Scott Michael also says they are quite cryptic. I would like to know how they get along with other fish and how well they do but it does not look like too many people have actually kept one. Divers Den is classifying them as aggressive but I have my doubts about the accuracy of this characterization.
I think they look really cool which is why I am trying to find out about them.
