Name That Wrasse

[reeferdude]

I bought a long yellow fish from ***** and of course the guy didnt know what it was. I think it is a wrasse because of its long slender body type. It is solid yellow exept for 2 or 3 small black dots on this fins. Can you name that wrasse?

As said before its a yellow coris wrasse. I bought one from ***** a couple of days ago also. Hes been great so far, he hides in the sand at night to sleep, but hes always the first one up and swimming around in the morning waiting for breakfast. Great fish!!

Well mine was great till he got to close to my anemone and now his whole back half is paralyzed. I isolated him and I am going to start soaking his food in garlic to try and help him heal faster.

I think they get to max 5". I don't how they would act around a six line. I have mine in with a maroon clown and an orchid dottyback and he is very peaceful with those two. HTH

Yellow coris wrasses, any coris wrasses get a heck of alot bigger than 5"! I've seen 14-15 in" individuals. Would probably snack ona six-line and they need a large tank!
