Wrasse ID and Help!


I mail ordered a common Canary Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus) for my reef tank but the company shipped my a rather large (4" or so) wrasse that I believe to be a halichoeres leucoxanthus, common name White Belly Wrasse, Canary Top Wrasse or Silver Bottom Wrasse. Does anyone have any experience with this fish? I have a reef tank with clams and feather dusters that I would rather not add it to if it is not reef safe.

You can see a picture of it here: http://species.fishindex.com/photo_3...coxanthus.html

The facial markings (stripes) you see in this picture are more green on mine and the marking on the lower fin is also more noticeable and greenish.

Thanks...

I have no experience with it, but what tank would it be going into?

I wouldbe putting it into the 210 which is a mixed reef. The thing I am worried about is it nipping clams and tube worms...
