The Twin Spot Coris (Coris bayensis) is a visually striking marine fish renowned for its vibrant colors and dynamic personality. This species showcases a beautiful blend of green and yellow hues accented by pink highlights, making it a stunning addition to any reef aquarium. Its peaceful temperament allows it to coexist harmoniously with a variety of tankmates, provided that ample swimming space and hiding spots are available.

Originating from the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific, the Twin Spot Coris thrives in environments rich in structure, such as rock formations and coral outcrops. They are known for their inquisitive nature and will often be seen exploring their surroundings, making them a favorite among aquarists who appreciate active and engaging fish.
