Anampses caeruleopunctatus can grow over 17 inches long. I do not think it's appropriate for a ~45g tank.

Make sure you see that fish eat. They don't have the best track record. It also needs a fine sandbed for sleeping at night.

The Blue Spotted Leopard Wrasse is constant hunter for pods, thus it needs a well-established tank, i.e., 9-12 months + refugium (will help greatly). If you add this fish early, it will most likely not make it, according to different sources. Maybe someone with one will comment.

Those are one of the harder wrasses to keep. I would make sure it is eating and you have a healthy pod population.
