I’m looking for a few cromis in return.
He’s in the back chamber right now.

So now my wrasse, which was sold to me as a yellow coris at Sea Level, looks like Erics'. I'd read, but can't remember where, that this is what they look like as juveniles and turn fully yellow as adults. Looking around now and I'm finding mixed info as to weather they're reef safe or reef safe with caution. I've had some snail attrition but haven't witnessed anything and my shrimp are fine. Live Aquaria gives this info about them; Yellow & Purple Wrasse, Juvenile: Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums . So I guess it's staying no matter what it is I like it and it's behaving itself.

Yep! definitely a silver belly wrasse.Yellow Coris are fully yellow as opposed to this one with a white belly!

I never had issues with my silver belly but he ended up getting hurt and passing before growing too large. His behavior was near identical to my yellow coris. The coris may scavenge the sand a bit better but that's it. Both are Halichoeres

 

[ericrodriguez]

Yes this guy has a white belly. Actually better looking than all yellow imo.

Love yellow wrasses. Why are you trading it?

I can offer a Falco Hawkfish in return....cool fish but not shrimp-friendly. Very healthy as well, not aggressive with any fish, cool fish to watch and attracts attention from guests, but I like shrimp and it stinks I can’t keep them with him in there. I understand they can be aggressive with smaller fish-the guy I got it from said his fire fish would hide all the time-but I’ve never had an issue

I got some nudis yesterday and he’ll eat them. He’s always looking around and bites almost everything that moves. I’m lucky he decided to jump to back chamber

Hawkfish would wipe them out too so no bueno. Good luck.

Thought here, does it jump back into the display from the back chamber? If not, leave it be while the nudis do their thing with the aptasia. That’s what you got them for right? Once they’ve cleaned out the aptasia iirc that’s all they eat and stave once it’s gone. At that point sell them if you can or put the wrasse back in and let it eat them. That’s better then having them starve and decay. A win for you either way.

I want them to reproduce and I’ll put them in a small tank. I’ll get them all out. They are 20 each

They need aptasia- it's their only diet

They need Taylor Ham- it's their only diet

Preach!!
