I have seen this fish in the zoo. Do you have any idea what fish it is ( the small blue one)? I am 4 month in the hobby, so if it is very common fish, please let me know about it. Please checked attached photo.

Doubt it eats coral

Yes, Red Sea Cleaner Wrasse (Larabicus quadrilineatus) can and will eat coral polyps, especially as they mature. While juveniles primarily focus on removing parasites from other fish, adults transition to feeding on stony coral polyps. This dietary shift makes them a challenging species to keep in a reef aquarium, as they can cause damage to corals

Wrasse is harmful!!!

Just going by what I've read . Tmc and two other sites I've looked at says reef safe. Maybe they do nip at coral but all the places I've looked it up say it's reefsafe .

My question is why are we arguing over something like this multiple sources including a friend of mine who has kept them say it differs from fish to fish. Just like people who say they never have issues with certain angel fish and others lose their entire collection of corals from one.So in the spirit of being a community of hobbyist who are always learning new things can we just agree to disagree

In my opinion labels have caused this problem to begin with.reef safe ,not reef safe and reef safe with caution I’ve seen tangs that are “reef safe” develop taste for coral and non reef safe fish who are model citizens.same goes with expert care level fish what it should say is are you a person with a tight schedule
then you shouldn’t own this fish because it may take more time and attention than you are willing to or can give. Ime you are never truly an expert but always a student of knowledge when it comes to the reef hobby.

lol, "...don't quote me..." makes me literally lol

I don't even think it is a wrasse, and appears to be a neon goby to me; but hard to tell from pics and that's not the point. Different perspectives can bring us to a better understanding.

I agree, assuming behavior and diet of a species to be congruent among individuals is often not accurate. Creatures can learn to enjoy coral, and other food sources. I even eat brussel sprouts and broccoli now, with pleasure (if prepared right).
