If by yellow wrasse you mean H. chrysus, then it will be well suited for that setup.

^Provided you have sand and the the tank is completely covered, I agree.

Yes i habe sand but the tank is not completly coverd im waiting for a new lid.
Would it be alright to be the first fish in?

I believe t would be fine as the first fish, they aren't aggressive.

One more question?
They do eat pests just like the other wrasses right.

Just get that cover on before you add the wrasse. My yellow loved to jump. Got in overflows I thought were covered. Hit lights. When I finally got a cover that worked, I lost him. Love the yellow coris wrasse (H. chrysus).
