Will a 3" Timor wrasse (Halichoeres timorensis) go after 4 good sized Trochus snails or likely leave large snails alone?

I only need to leave her in their for about 3-4 weeks (in a 10G), until my regular 15G QT frees up where she'll go through prophylactic QT by herself
 
Timor wrasses are one of the better behaved Halichoeres species with inverts. While it is possible it could go after the trochus it is unlikely.

I know they only get about 4.5". A 53G 36" x 18" x21" footprint is ok at adult size?
 
Mine has only been in the tank a few weeks but appears so far to be a model citizen. Very curious fish, always looking around and watching the dogs.
