yellow coris wrasse is known for being anti parisitic (pods) and melanarus wrasse is known for eating flatworms.

Both of those like many others are hit or miss. I believe that the wrasse most likely to clean parasites is the radiant wrasse.

I have a Melanurus Wrasse in my tank. They are known to eat flat worms and pyramid snails.
