    I bought a green coris a few weeks ago and it looked nothing like this one. Ignore the fact that he is floating upside down in the bag. :(

    Just trying to figure out what he is. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356370106.205194.jpg

    Not yet. Floating it to acclimate it but wanted to make sure it was reef safe. Ordered it online. Green coris wrasse. But it doesn't look like the other one I ordered a few weeks ago.

    My first thought was Green Grass Wrasse. A better picture would help.

    Great question. He is covered in white spots. Trying to figure out how to treat him before he goes in the tank. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356378485.319464.jpg

    I believe those white spots to be ich. Ask around for more advanced help, I've never had to deal with it. But I'd start by quarantining it.

    Yep, made a 10 gallon qt for him. I've been using this all natural treatment for him. We will see how it goes.
