Is this normal wrasse behavior?

New coris wrasse just got from lfs Tuesday is this normal i never had a wrasse the last 5 seconds in vid

Looks normal to me, just not feeling bold enough to venture out much.

My fairy wrasse does this when feeling intimidated, like if I've got my hand in the tank and he's not feeling threatened but also doesn't want to be out doing the usual (harassing smaller fish).

So the smacking onto sand is nothing to worry about

Thats not a corris wrasse. But, having a leucoxanthus (silver belly). It's checking for a warm or hostile welcome.

Yes, probably checking if its a comfortable spot to dive into.

Should I put more finer sand into tank to make bed thicker

I only got a minute in, but didn't see any sand smacking. Just circling and staying close to the bottom.

He'll be fine as long as nothing startles him scared. They only cover themselves enough to alliw gills to move. They really dive into sand when frightened. You'll want 3" for that. No aggressive tank mates will alliw for a much happier wrasse.

He's fine, watch for head twitching. Wrasse almost always have to be treated for flukes. Easy to do.

At least hes out and about already. My melanurus wrasse disappeared for 3 days then just showed up.
