Coris Wrasse - 2nd week report

[omard]

Am really learning to like this fish. A very good replacement for my Flame Wrasse (R.I.P. - ) (and much less expensive - $30 at LFS, compared with $100 for the Hawaiian Flame)

Very active, unlike fairy wrasse. Acts more like a sixline. Always busy, scooting about tank. Loves to "play" with "rubble" I added to tank. Voracious eater (will take food from other fish's mouth).

No aggression towards other fish and coral, but will stand its own against anything threatening it.

Adds great color to tank. Pink face with lateral green lines, dark green body with almost florescent dots. Red trimmed with bright yellow tail.

Yellowtail Coris Wrasse

(Red Coris Wrasse)

"Coris gaimardi"

(added to 125 gallon - 08 January 2008 )

Beautiful addition!

This guy definitely loves to knock things over. Is trying to rearrange my aquarium to its own liking.

Don't always agree with its choice.

On way to LFS to get some epoxy bonding putty to keep thing the way I like them...not it.

Very nice, I have one of those black and white Damsel's who'll be finding a new home when i get fish... hell he even looks mean.

beautiful fish! Im about to buy some wrasse's for a few of my tanks. I want ones that will eat inverts. I keep finding baby tulip snails in one of my tanks. I want the wrasse to eat them

A wrasse will do a number on them...used to have a terrible plague of them. Since adding wrasses have lately seen nary a one...

Go for it.
