Is it possible to make this coroutine anonymous or do I have to use the variable? Thanks!
while true do
local newThread = coroutine.wrap(function()
for i = 1, 10 do
end
coroutine.yield()
end)
newThread()
end

All you have to do is call the result of coroutine.wrap directly.
while true do
coroutine.wrap(function()
for i = 1, 10 do
end
coroutine.yield()
end)()
end
Hope this helped.
If you're not meaningfully[^1] using coroutine.yield and coroutine.resume (or, if you use wait() or :wait()) then you should not use coroutine at all.
If you want to start a "background thread", use spawn or delay. spawn starts a "thread" that will be started soon™. delay starts a "thread" that will be started after the specified amount of delay.
while wait(1) do
spawn(function()
-- do stuff
end)
end
[^1]: in particular, you should call resume at least twice on the same coroutine to justify the use of coroutine.create over spawn

You shouldn't be using coroutine for this. Use
spawn
