Wrasses aren't aggressive (generally) to anything except other wrasses and select fish.
Feeding gold fish is NOT a good thing for the fish. I am suprised it's still alive.

I'm very surprised also. I have read numerous articles saying never to feed fresh water fish to saltwater fish as it is supposed to damage the liver and other organs.
Even though you have had success I would just feed him salt water fish and invertebrates from the grocery store it is very inexpensive to buy

no it is not that the goldfish is not nutritious, it is because freshwater have certain amount of a material, i think mercury , or some other metal, that will build up in the SW fish's liver and kill it over time.
