Default Six Line Wrasse

I just got a six line wrasse about a week ago and everything was fine came home yesterday and he was dead stuck to the intake. I do have three other fish in the tank and they are a clown,bullet goby, and a royal gramma all these fish are small since i have a 29 gallon nano tank also there is a Pink Tip Haitian Anemone in the tank as well. Everything with the tank is good nothing spiked on me. I guess the bottom line is are these fish very hard to keep or could this of been a freak thing by dying? This kills me since i had to wait forever for the lfs to get one and finally get it and it dies I guess i will have to wait to buy another one. This fish was eating also when fed flake food thats why im so baffled. Thanks for any input on this guys and gals.

Your royal gramma didn't like that six line wrasse. I wouldn't suggest putting another one in there, I have the same problem, my royal gramma is always picking on my six line wrasse but I have a 75 gallon aquarium so there is more room for them to get along. Royal Gramma's are sometimes very aggressive.
