I have had a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse in my tank for over 6 months. Originally there were two wrasses a Yellow Coris Wrasse and the Lubbock. I sold the Coris Wrasse a couple months ago. Before selling the Coris Wrasse the Lubbock was mild mannered even timid, but shortly after the removal of the other wrasse the Lubbock began to gain confidence and it's colors have intensifiedBig smile. Unfortunately now he is starting to harass every other fish in the tank Ouch.
 
Tonight the Lubbock was chasing the Chromis, Fox Face and Cinnamon Clowns. I looked up their temperament and they are described as peaceful. I haven't seen any actual damage to any of the other fish but am concerned that the aggression might escalate. Most of the fish with the exception of the Foxface are semi-aggressive so I am wondering if the aggression is OK or if I should yank out the Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse.
 
Other fish in the tank are
1. One - One Spot Foxface Rabbitfish,
2. Two - Cinnamon Clowns
3. Two - Green Chromis.
 
Tank is a 28 Gallon JBJ Nano.

I've never experienced an aggressive lubbocks.  Like you said, mine is quite timid.
I would keep an eye on him, maybe he is going thru a change from juvi to adult male, I dont know, just guessing.
