This wrasse is an omnivore, feeding on small crustaceans, benthic invertebrates, and a variety of prepared marine foods. It can help control nuisance pests like planaria, fireworms, and pyramidellid snails, but may also occasionally consume desirable invertebrates.The Yellow Coris Wrasse is generally compatible with other peaceful wrasses and small, non-aggressive fish. However, it should not be kept with overly aggressive species that may outcompete it for food. This fish is suitable for both beginner and experienced marine aquarium hobbyists, provided the proper water parameters are maintained, including a temperature of 72-78°F, pH of 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025.
