Yellow Coris Wrasse.

Im thinking about purchasing a Yellow Coris Wrasse. What has been your experience with shrimp compatibly, such as a peppermint or skunk shrimp? Thx

if the wrasse is bigger than the shrimp it’ll likely go for it. if they’re full grown, maybe, maybe not

i had a yellow wrasse(they’re no longer called yellow cori’s wrasse. they’ve been misidentified it seems). and it was great. swam around looking through rocks and such picking at copepods and pests. voracious eater, too. loved frozen and pellets

They are unlikely to go after most cleaner shrimp (skunk, cleaner, peppermint) but some ornamental shrimp like sexy shrimp might be lost.

I have a similar species - Halichoeres iridis and have had the sister species - Halichoeres leucoxanthus with shrimp like Cleaners, Fire, Harlequin, Boxer, Peppermint, Etc. And not once did I find a dead shrimp to the wrasses. The only time I found they’d eat a shrimp was if the shrimp had died or was dying.

Halichoeres chrysus is no exception to this (It’s not a Coris as Coris is its own genus of wrasse).
