I assume you mean Halichoeres hortulanus. I've seen pictures of them in reef tanks but they definitely get larger than some of the other Halichoeres species you mentioned. I've never kept one but I wouldn't see any problem when it was small but it has potential to become more problematic as it grows. I think they get to around 6-8 inches maybe a little larger. They are a beautiful species no doubt about it. The wrasses you mention are all different species but have similar eating habits and behaviors. Richmond's gets fairly large too.
