I just recently heard of the canary wrasse and i love the coloration. I was wondering if they can be kept in a reef tank with soft corals, LPS hard corals, hermit crabs, shrimps (smaller shrimp like peppermint shrimp and larger shrimp like cleaner shrimp), an urchin, and snails.

Canary Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus). Safe with corals but can be a potential threat to small snails, worms and shrimp. Should be fine with cleaner shrimp, urchins and most snails. Should be kept with nonagressive tankmates. Needs to be provided with at least a 5cm layer of fine sand, so it can bury at night ir when frightened. Tank must NOT be open top, as they will jump from open toped tanks.
