Picked up a yellow coris wrasse today and as soon as he hit the water all I saw was a cloud of sand and poof, gone

He be out after he gets hungry and aclimated to your tank and other fish .

I didn't even get to look at him for a second, jerk lol
He's probably stressed out from being in a bag for so long bumping into his own poop

Anyone have a Picture of there yellow coris?
I think mine is a 4 spot not a coris

He's yellow like the one on the left but has all the black spots exactly like the one on the right

 

[this is me]

Halichoeres Chrysus
Juvenile has the spots

When it's more mature, it loses the spots and become like the picture you see in LA.

Thanks Nick
That's exactly what he looks like

Im glad I'm not the only one dealing with a wrasse buried in the sand. I picked one up last week and haven't seen it. Not even for feeding time.

He came out and pics at everything

Picks on everything like corals or other fish? Hopefully fish! They will settle territorial disputes but corals will become expensive!

Rock and sand, hungry bugger but doesn't like pellets.

Not uncommon for them to spook easily and bury themselves in the sand for days, or even weeks. Once acclimated, they're great. Very active and constantly pick at the rock looking for pods. Good luck!

I have plenty of pods and bristle worms he can munch on lol
