Twinspot Wrasse

What all do y'all know about these guys? I just purchased one today and, after doing a little research, I am a bit worried.
I went originally wanting a sixline wrasse for my 55g reef. Today is my LFS's "Customer Appreciation Day" and all marine fish are 50% off (nice!) but they ran out of sixlines quickly (flame angels too...). Three of the clerks told me that a twinspot is exactly the same care as a sixline as juveniles so offered me one of those. Seeing how it was pretty cheap with the discount I took one...
He is a little over 1 inch long right now. The only other two fish are a tomato clown and a little green chromis. Most of my snails are big and the two shrimp are good at hiding.
Should I be worried? They told me that when he gets bigger they can take him as a trade-in but until then I shouldn't have anything to worry about. If he will be a problem I can trade him in on Monday or Tuesday (I think...).
Thanks!

I had one for bout two years and it got 4 inchs and mean. Killed 3 gobies and always harrassed ( wrasse ) my six lines and flame hawk. I took it out. It is a cool fish though with lots of personality. Some times it would swim across the tank doing a corkscrew motion.:happyfish

So you think he should be OK for a while? I'd hate to take back such a nice little fish so quickly.
