Orange Back Fairy Wrasse Tank Size?

[TurdFerguson]

Hi,
I have an Orange Back Fairy Wrasse coming in the mail tomorrow. I ordered from a site(Reef Beauties) that does not have tank size suggestions. But, I saw that they only get to 4" max so I figured its fine for my IM Nuvo 40g. But, when I was trying to figure out if it will eat copepods I saw many recomendations for a minimum tank size of 90g. Anyone have thoughts on this? Also, are there signs to look for to see if the size is stressing it out?
Thanks

Short term it’ll be alright but long term they do need 4’ length for swimming in.

Thanks for the reply. No idea what to do in the long term. Tank is a cube style so its only like 2' wide.
