Lettuce Nudibranch and Coris Wrasse

[jeffandkelly]

I am thinking about adding a lettuce nudibranch to my tank but I have a yellow wrasse.

Will the wrasse eat it?

There is a chance that the wrass may eat it but nudis are have defensive toxic slime worth a try

Personally, I wouldn't risk it. While the Nudi does have some small slime defenses, it's basically a snail without a shell to the wrasse. Just my 2-cents.

Thanks I don't want to intentionally kill anything

Halichoeres </em>are know pest eaters, this will most likely just be a new snack for a coris wrasse.
