Description
The Red Coris Wrasse, also known as the Clown Wrasse, is a beautiful and active fish that can add a splash of color to a large aquarium. This wrasse exhibits a brilliant red body adorned with blue spots and a contrasting yellow tail as an adult. Known for its semi-aggressive nature, it may not be ideal for a peaceful community tank, but it can coexist with other robust fish in a larger setup. It requires a sand substrate for burrowing and plenty of rockwork for exploration. Due to its predatory diet, it may pose a risk to smaller invertebrates, making it only cautiously reef compatible.
