What kind of wrasse

[Afrashz]

Hey guys I grabbed this wrasse today off a guy when I was grabbing another piece of equipment. He was shutting down his tanks and had this guy in a tank with no filtration or heat. I think it’s a yellow coris wrasse but I may be wrong, thanks in advance!

yellow hogfish. i have the same

 

[Scurvy]

Its a Yellow Coris. Spots in the wrong places for a Hog Fish.

 

[Afrashz]

There’s about 4 black spots that run down the top fin

 

[Doc Lemonjello]

Scurvy is correct. Yellow Coris Wrasse, Halichoeres chrysus.

Perhaps you also have a yellow coris wrasse...

Should I have any concern with my corals?

You should have concern with Scurvy asking to "tank sit" aka: Amber alert wrasse.

Not a threat to corals, rarely may threaten inverts. Mine was almost 6" and never bothered anything. Great fish!

Will they eat pellets or mostly frozen

Every fish is an individual but usually they are not picky eaters at all. They should eat frozen, pellets and mine even ate nori. They will also hunt constantly for pods and pests like flat worms in your tank.

Yellow coris, also known as a canary wrasse. They are great. However they are prone to hiding for periods of a few days if they get spooked or “just because”. Mine eats pellets and frozen.

No have 3 if you can find them notorious for hiding
