Yellow Coris wrasse

[Tyrone]

Are yellow coris wrasse really reef safe with feather duster and coco worms? Has anyone had success keeping them together?

I have H. leucoxanthus and he's never touched my feather duster.

I’m going to preface this by saying individuals can act differently in reef tanks. But I do like feather dusters and I have two big ones (about the size of a Coco) plus a nice worm rock which houses over 12 small ones. All have been in the tank for over 6 months and are doing well. I like wrasses and have a Halichoeres leucoxanthus (not exactly the coris, but similar) and an exquisite fairy wrasse. Neither bothers the feather dusters. Make of this what you will. Bottom line is, I’d give it a try but it’s a gamble.

Mine just hunts for pods all day until feeding time it doesn't bother anything
