I have a small yellowhead wrasse that I’m planning on moving to my 75gal. I’m wondering if it’ll eat my feather duster worm and my CUC? There’s not much information that I could find on this species.

Yes, it will most likely eat all your feather dusters and cleaner crew as it gets larger. This is one of the larger, more aggressive, and more destructive of the Halichoeres wrasses.

Definitely not the best fish for your average reef aquarium. It will flip rocks and frags, consume most motile inverts, and will eventually prey on small fish as well.
