Reef Safe. Both are fine but bananna wrasses and yellow coris often get mislabeled in the store. Bananna wrasses have the white bottom half.

Can be jumpers if startled so glass tops recommended.

They sleep/hide in the substrate. Not for sure how well it would do in a Barebottom tank without some refuge.

We are refering to this correct?

LA has it labelled "with caution" and in their FO section for wrasses.

I think they say with caution because they can eat some benefitial worms etc. Some have been known to eat flatworms. I have one and it's quite gentle, he does love his sandbed however... If you're barebottom, that's what I would worry about the most.
