Red coris wrasse (Coris gaimard) juvenile.

One of the larger wrasse species. Juveniles change colour as they grow into very differently coloured adults. As with most large wrasses they are best housed with other large fish species. Safe with most corals, but, may eat inverts.

SIZE

They are generally 2” to 3”, may eventually reach upto 24”.

COMPATIBILITY

We recommend feeding a minimum of twice per day on suitable frozen food. Some reef fish can jump from an open topped aquarium, we recommend using a tight fitting lid with no gaps.

SIZE WARNING! THIS FISH CAN GROW EXTREMELY LARGE, AND MAY DO SO VERY QUICKLY!

All fish with a large potential size may need special care, and may require a tank set up in a particular way to suit their specific needs. Large fish need a lot of space, even as juveniles they may need large tanks to get enough exercise to develop properly. Large fish may view smaller tankmates as food. Large fish may sometimes damage equipment and bite through power cables. Also bear in mind that large fish can eat a lot of food. It’s not unusual for 1 large fish to eat several packs of frozen food a day, which can be expensive. Large fish can be difficult to rehome, so do not purchase them unless you already have the facilities to house them at a larger size.
