I've been offered a nice looking Leopard Wrasse and while I was planning on only having Fairy Wrasses this grabbed my interest. I would try researching more on my own but this is probably going to pass quickly.

Am I asking for trouble when I have a male c. solorensis and male c. lubboki already?

Are these typically "reef safe"? I've found conflicting info on that front as well.

I did read that and have the chart saved in my phone. It covers the fairy wrasses but not other species, that I saw anyway.

Well my solorensis jumped, but I had all 3 in my 90. They were great with each other. My potters leopard is my favorite wrasse for sure!

I’ve got a euro braced tank with a screen top already. My firefish took an amazingly high jump one day and landed back in the tank somehow.

Haha that’s funny. I hear bloops a lot, I never see them mid-flight though lol.

This might be a golden opportunity if this is a Leopard coming from an established tank as it means it has passed multiple survivability tests and is likely a very hardy and adaptable specimen. The difficulty with Leopards is that many of them have parasites and do not ship well and as such have a very high rate of death, but the more adaptable members of the species tend to do very well in captivity.
