did you mean this link: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+1378 or is this a FOWLR? Perhaps I am confused.

No I posted the correct link. Read the descriptions. The only reason those wrasses are in the "not reef safe" section is because they will eat tubeworms and small shrimp. For instance both the yellow coris and melanarus are in the not reef safe section but in their descriptions they say reef safe with caution due to the reasons mentioned above they are not known to harm corals or clams.

Most wrasses r cool with corals and nots inverts and clams or feather dusters but some will kill corals not by eating but like my red corris will find every pest in tank wont have one worm left but if u corals not glued down good he will flip it over and make a mess of u tank and can kill corals that way dragon wrasses too glue em down good and u all good though
 
Having kept Wrasses all the time and going through many of them just like the madman I will advise you stay away from the Halichoeres family for your size tank. I would highly recommend no more than a six line and yes you are running the risk with an A hole. Most Halichoeres go past 5" and will become aggressive because they don't have the proper room. Sorry brother but a 29 cube is not going to cut it for them and their aggression. They WILL become territorial.
 
I have owned a mystery wrasse and a sixline. The sixline behaved very well but im assuming that is because of its tank matesn(none of them were rock dwelling fish so to speak) and the space it had. It is in a 57g with 60lbs of liverock and plently of caves to hid in. The mystery wrasse on the other hand was a complete bastard
