He might pick but I had a yellow coris wrasse that are supposed to "pick" and I never had an issue in 4yrs. If I were you I'd get a cheap anemone and put it in your QT tank with him and see what happens.

He will NOT bother your anemones.
He may flip small unattatched corals if they are not glued into place.
He probably will eat your CUC.

Note a yellow "coris" is of a different genus; Halichoeres chrysus. Whereas a Red Coris is Coris gaimard. Much difference in behavior between those genera.

He will NOT bother your anemones.

Unless he flips over the rock one is attached to, or flips a rock on top of one.

He may flip small unattatched corals if they are not glued into place.
He probably will eat your CUC.

+1 to both points here
