Yellow reef safe fish

Want to buy a yellow reef safe fish to replace my one spot foxface. I just found out that it killed my zoas and already have eating half of my green star polyps.

What is a nice yellow reef safe fish?

Midas or canary blenny. Yellow and purple wrasse. Yellow coris wrasse. Yellow tang. All depends on tank size.

Yellow Coris Wrasses are super active. Once they get acclimated they zip around the tank all day long.

Are they jumpers? I know most of the wrasses are jumpers and I have a rimless tank.

Like any other fish, they may jump when spooked. They are pretty jittery in general and will either bury themselves or jump when scared.

Coris Wrasse will bury itself 90% of time if frightened

All fish are jumpers sooner or later. Cover your tank and never have to worry about it. Save a fish.
Copperbands are probably my fav yellowish fish.
