I bought it as a green fairy wrasse, but when i googled it , all i could find was a green coris.
Its just shy of 2 inches, and seems to hunt pods all day.

Looks like a green coris wrasse to me had one before they are not fairy’s for sure mine was a bully at times

I'd say its Halichoeres chloropterus

Yes green coris wrasse. Mine is maybe 4-5 inches and peaceful EXCEPT with other wrasses. He has picked off every other wrasse in the tank. I still like his bright green color and he has eaten every bristleworm in my tank.

Halichoeres chloropterus

Correct.

Becomes a dull silvery green once mature and a huge jerk.

Sorry.
