The Yellow Wrasse, also known as the Golden Rainbowfish, Golden Wrasse, Yellow Coris, or Canary Wrasse is a vibrantly-colored wrasse sure to inject exceptional visual interest and activity to any marine aquarium. The Yellow Wrasse is a popular wrasse among hobbyists of all skill levels thanks to its hardiness and relatively compact size. Interestingly, juvenile and young female Yellow Wrasse will have multiple black spots on their fins while mature adults will only have one spot.

The natural range of the Yellow Wrasse is concentrated in the Eastern Indian Ocean, extending into the Western Pacific Ocean including the Solomon Islands and north to Southern Japan and as south to Rowley Shoals and the Australian coast of New South Wales. The Yellow Wrasse is a reef-associated species, typically found at the reef edge in sand and rubble zones.
