What's with naming everything a (color) Coris wrasse. With the exception of the Red they're not Coris' wrasse and even the Red is not red but orange and only as a juvenile? Guess that's why wrasse people use the latin name....These guys are cheap… and tend to be misidentified as one of their common names is the ‘Green Coris Wrasse’. However as you rightfully said, this is instead a Halichoeres chloropterus and honestly even though their proce is rather low I don’t see them around too often. I find this to be due to their adult colour form (I have never found a correct photo of their colour form as each photo shows the same wrasse but with different colourings along the body) often being thought of as ‘drab’.
I know when I first got good photos of my Chloropterus when he was a female I was warned with aggression. In my experience that aggression has been minimal, there was a small bit of chasing when my radiant started to transition at the same time but now my iridis is somehow ontop and much further through the transitioning phase.
