Yellow Coris wrasse or silver belly?

[Rickybobby]

Has. Anyone else besides me gone to an lfs and was pumped to buy a yellow coris wrasse but them realized a day later it’s a silver belly? I’ve had Becky for a month now in qt. Great fish but she’s a silver belly she get along great with everyone. Eats a ton and swims everywhere

Imo They act like the same fish anyway lol.

That's a good looking wrasse.

I’d rather have the silver belly. Beautiful fish. I had a green corriss myself and I loved him but my buddies yellow corris was on crack. That thing was a nut, always messing with softies and being a an awful murder fish to inverts lol.

I prefer the silver belly tbh. They are both great wrasses and I frequently kept one of each together as they look good and most people thought they were a pair.

Just an update. Becky has grown a lot. Doing amazing not a critter is allowed to remain on her watch

Just wanted to do a 5 month update on this silver belly wrasse. Becky. She has grown an inch! Lost her spots huge belly loves salmon clams shrimp and scallops and eats anything that’s a critter in the tank

Probably not don’t quote. But she goes after pods small bristle worms. Never seen her attack hermit crabs or snails. Too large anyway. Only one way to find out!

100 percent! Mine goes to sleep every night in the sand around 830 wakes up about 830. Very scheduled. Also if I’m doing maintenance on the tank she goes in the sand for about 30 mins. Great fish!

What about shrimps? Like cleaner shrimp or pistol shrimps,have you any of these and you think these be safe as im wanting a corus wrasse or silver belly but mrs wants cleaner shrimp

I have one and love it. Turning male with some crazy bright greens and pinks on face and fins. Always out, super active, just like a six line but not a dick. Purchased under the name of "lemon meringue wrasse"

Hmm...I was about to write that my 3 YCs haven't bothered my 3 peppermint shrimp---but I just realized that I haven't seen those shrimp in a while. Oh well, they were useless anyway. All three of them chose a rock island in my 300G on day one and never left.
