The **Red Coris Wrasse** is a visually striking and vibrant large wrasse species. In their juvenile stage, these fish are predominantly orange with white spots bordered in black. As they mature, they develop a yellow tail and more yellow on their body, adorned with blue spots and green stripes.

**Red Coris Wrasses** can grow up to 16 inches and require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. While they are generally peaceful when young, they can become more aggressive as they age. Smaller **Red Coris Wrasses** can be housed in reef aquariums, but larger ones may prey on smaller fish and invertebrates.

These wrasses are known for their strong jumping ability, necessitating a tank with a secure lid to prevent escape. They thrive in environments with ample live rock and sand, as they forage for small invertebrates and seek refuge when threatened. A sand bed is essential for their burrowing behavior.

As carnivores, **Red Coris Wrasses** need a diet rich in meaty foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, small pieces of fresh seafood, high-quality meaty frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods will ensure their health and vitality.
