Fast Facts

The Adult Red Coris Wrasse varies greatly in coloration from the Juvenile Red Coris Wrasse, which is red with white saddles. This fish requires a sand bed of 3 to 4 inches for it to bury in. This beautiful fish is a rough shipper and is should not be considered by apprehensive hobbyists. If you're nervous about mail ordering fish, don't even consider shipping one, buy this one locally! This species has a high metabolism, so be sure they get enough to eat and don't keep them with boisterous fishes or fishes that to that feed too boldly.
