Description: The Yellow Coris Wrasse is a peaceful reef safe wrasse originating from the Indo-Pacific and Indian Ocean. They have black spots on their dorsal fin, while sporting a bright yellow coloration. Yellow Coris Wrasses will hide in the sand when stressed or sick. It is not uncommon for them to stay buried for several days. They can also be facilitative in reef tanks as they will feed on pests, such as flatworms.
