Lightening Wrasse

You must mean Halichoeres cyanocephalus. The species you listed is not valid. H.cyanocephalus is commonly known as the lightening wrasse (yellow strip on top of blue body)
Never had one, but I do know people who have kept them for years. It's pretty much like all Halichores sp.: a fairly hardy species that has a proclevity to dig up the sandbed and efficiency to wipe out benthic plankton. It's reef-safe as far as most decorative inverts are concerned. Gets to about a foot long, so don't bother if your tank is smaller then 100 gallons. They're also very bolsterous and can dominate the tank.

rob2,

There's not much aquarium related info on this species (will be published with Scott Michael's upcoming volumes of Reef Fishes). For standard info, you can always use fishbase.org
I have the luxury of having kept or know of someone who has kept nearly every species of fish that come stateside.
