I currently have one in QT. Seems very outgoing. Swims around a bit, and is very social with the Blue Head Fairy Wrasse that he is sharing the QT with.

I've had mine in my 75 gal. mixed reef for about 5 monthsand she's been a model citizen. She keeps to herself. She inspects the live rock and corals all day and will occasionally kick up a bit of sand, but nothing crazy. And very rarely will she take a nip at my snails, just a quick nip and completely forgets about their existance after. Overall she's a beautiful fish, super hardy and a great addition to any tank 55 gal+. Super easy fish to keep and care for and super peaceful.Hey guys!
Wondering who has had experience keeping a yellow coris wrasse? What is their temperament like and what size tank would you recommend for one? Has anyone seen any aggression from the YCW?
Thanks!!

i have one in a 40 gallon breeder. if he gets too big for the tank i will consider upgrading or giving him away. i think 50 gallons is the recommended.Hey guys!

i dont think it wouldDoes anyone know if the Yellow Coris Wrasse will eat sexy shrimp / anemone shrimp? I'd love to get a YCW but I'm worried it might snack on those little critters.
Hi, if the shrimp is very small, maybe. Do you have an anemone? If so and the shrimp is hosting in it, that would definitely lower the risk. I have lots of shrimp, crabs, and snails in my DT. I know for a fact that my yellow coris will eat any nassarius snail they can find and, although I haven't witnessed it, I'm pretty sure they're responsible for the disappearance of all my small hermits. Other snails, crabs, and my peppermint shrimp have been fine----although the shrimp are always hiding.Does anyone know if the Yellow Coris Wrasse will eat sexy shrimp / anemone shrimp?

if small enough, yes. i tried adding a second candy cane pistol shrimp to my DT. i tried to position it close to the burrow of my original pistol. after some fighting the new pistol was exposed and my yellow coris wrasse went to town on it..Does anyone know if the Yellow Coris Wrasse will eat sexy shrimp / anemone shrimp?

they are super skittish at first. mine hid for two days.I bought a small Yellow Coris Wrasse last Tuesday. Acclimated and put him in, saw him swim for maybe a minute and I went to throw away the bag, went back to tank and he disappeared. Still haven't seen him since

Google says:How long do these guys live? 9-10 years?
I always adapt my newcomers in my refugium for around a week. This normally leads to that my old fish do not take any notice of the newcomers when they will be introduced into the DT. IMO - because of that the smell i the same
