hi, does anyone know why Liveaquaria.com has this fish under Expert Only. it is really that hard to care for this fish. thanks
 
Vivid Aquarium has them listed as "difficult, expert only" as well. They need a fine sand bed to bury themselves in at night and a mature tank due to their habit of constantly cuising the tank looking for amphipods and other small inverts to keep. I assume that this accounts for their rating.
 
Maybe LiveAquaria has their fish mixed up. The Yellow Coris wrasse really looks nothing like the wrasse I believe you are talking about. There is also a yellow-brown wrasse, and a banana wrasse. If you go to saltcorner.com you'll see all the wrasses and hoe the names are similar but pictures are much different. Anyway I have a yellow wrasse (the one I believe you are talking about) and they very simple to take care of.
