Its a size thing. The Yellow Wrasse is not a Coris btw.

My 3' Yellow Wrasse named Slick would like to kill the cleaner shrimp and peppermint shrimp, but they are his same size, so they are OK for now. But he will kill Sexy Shrimp and is an Verry effecint pod hunter , So if you have fish that depend on the pods he is a nono.

I haven't had him kill any Hermits yet and I have some small ones, but he does eye them up.

He is a Great fish, I think when he gets larger though he may start to eat more inverts.
