so originally the plan was to have my 3 b/g chromis, pair of snowflake clowns and then have a leopard wrasse as the "main attraction"

I've decided to not go with the wrasse :( beautiful fish, but i want to stay away from anything that burrows.

any recommendations for that "star" fish?
60G Cube, will be a mixed reef, maybe a bit heavier on the LPS side.

Leopard wrasses bury when scared or sleeping, not much of a burrower that builds and maintains a burrow.

Options for a 60 include a rhomboid, pintail, or lunatus wrasse. Borbonius or sunburst anthias, royal gramma or blackcap basslet.

I'm using a DSB, and have heard things on both ends regarding cleaning/disturbing the sand being good and bad. so i figured i would move on from anything that would disturb the sand. unless its truly a non issue.
thank you for the suggestions :)

I've kept burying wrasses in tanks w/ a dsb without issue. They stay in the top portion of the sand, but ultimately it's up to you.
