Eh, it's actually science talk for "Yellow and Purple wrasse", "Canarytop wrasse", "Whitebelly wrasse", or "Lemon meringue wrasse".
"Yellow Coris wrasse" (a misnomer, as it's not a Coris species) is a common name typically associated with Halichoeres chrysus, a different species.

Will H. leucoxanthus work for what I want? A more peaceful wrasse that will eat pests?

Yes, the behavior of the two species is pretty much identical.
