Default Coris Colors...






Am continually overwhelmed by the beauty and coloring of this fish...seems to get more striking as time goes by.





Red to dark reddish head, green iris/pupil, and with a pattern of bright vibrant lateral yellowish/green lines.





Beautiful, bright, exotic blue florescent spots all over body, which transitions in color from red to darkish green from front to rear. Bright red fins, trimmed with bright florescent blue.




Flashy bright yellow tail. Trimmed with red.

A totally cool fish...that does not cost a fortune ($30 for adult at my LFS)

Does he get along good with your sixline?

My only fear would be too many wrasses in one tank...

Beautiful fish though, I would love to get one.

Gets along great with all other fish in tank...could care less about them.

Has strong presence so not bothered by any others either.

Not known to eat shrimp or crabs...have never seen do so.

Likes to move rock and look for things underneath. Will rearrange LR if not stable. A pile of rubble rock in front of tank keeps happy.

Look for juvenile at LFS as this is not what they look like at all and customers do not know this is fish they are getting. Can get for $15-$20 at my LFS...



(juvenile Coris Wrasse)


Good showpiece fish for relatively cheap price.


Get you one...
