I bought a large live rock and put it in my QT tank. A little while later, my son who had been hunting brittle stars tells me there is a strange fish in the tank. It had been inside the rock and was now swimming around. Anyone know what kind of fish it is and if it is reef safe? It also appears to be pregnant.

It's Bodianus bimaculatus. Not a bad score at all! It's perhaps a little on the chubby side, but not pregnant (wrasses are egg layers).
