Are you sure it isn't some type of Dottyback?

 

[Aquaph8]

Dottyback sounds about right. Pseudochromis springeri maybe?

yupp will do, so just watched as my lights went off he dove into the sand. pretty strange since i read that cleaners usually sleep int he rock work

ok so all i was able to find out from my friend that works at the lfs where i bought it was its a cleaner wrasse from cebu which seems to be a island in the Philippines

I think I picked up that same wrasse 2 weeks ago. Definitely dives into sand when scared. I also read they form a bubble around themselves under the sand. Dunno but it's sweet. The LFS called it a purple cleaner wrasse. My friend who spotted it thought it was black also.

It's a juvenile Chiseltooth Wrasse - Pseudodax moluccanus

They get rather large, around a foot long. But they are great reef fish otherwise.

Bingo.

You need a large tank.
