red coris fish

[StephNewman]

I had bought a juvenile red coris wrasse a few months ago from an LFS that told me it was reef safe. However since reading about it online it does not seem to be the case with this fish especially with invertebrates. I am wonderign if any one has had any luck with these fish in the reef system. I don't mind too much if it eats my hermit crabs (which I think it might be doing since I am finding crab remains every once in awhile, however I am more worried about it eating my crocea clam that I recently bought or my sally lightfeet crabs, ect. What is everyone thought. If it is best for me to get rid of this fish, how can I go about catching it.

A pole and a rubber worm, I have one in my FOWLR and it does not bother my shrooms, but didn't like the hitchhiker crab of snails. Likes to move around small pieces of rock to find food, good luck catching that thing they are cool but QUICK

I had one in my mixed reef and my friend had one as well. I had clams and they never got touched. Mine did fine in my tank as i have never had crabs or snails. My friend's red coris did eat his crabs.
