Other wrasses comparable with yellow corris?

I wouldn't put h. leucurus in there personally. Leopards are listed as expert only because they ship very poorly. If you find one at your lfs and it's eating they're not too hard.

Why wouldn't you put leucurus in? I've found them be excellent tankmates with chrysus.

I've had three that acted way bigger than they were. I guess this is another YMMV because I've had a bunch of melanurus and never had a problem where others say those are more aggressive.

Thanks, you all have been a huge help. Now comes the hardest part. I dont like ordering fish online so I need to wait till my big 3 LFS get something in stock that looks good.

I waited over a year to find my radiant wrasse. Patience is worth it for these animals. Be sure to qt and treat at least for internal and external parasites with prazipro and metro soaked food.

Wow, wasnt expecting such a big response. I have a lot of latin names to research. I have a four year old 4 foot 75 gallon with plenty of rock. The back of the tank has 3-4" of sand. The Yellow Corris has been in there the entire time and is probably 3-4"

Always go by the scientific names of fish, especially wrasse. There are some 'wolf in sheeps clothing' fish in this hobby, avoid making the mistake :)
