I've been digging on the web all day trying to find anything and nada....
Anyone have some long term exp with this fish?
Growth rate?
Life span?
Seems everyone has small to juvenilles and no long term exp. Wonder why? They seem to be just as nice as an adult.
Looking for info.
Thanks all.

Maybe if you ask in the Aggressive Fish forum. There are some big fish gurus over there.

My LFS had one in and I thought it was the coolest fish ever. He insisted I didn't want it tho saying they got about 5-6 inches and were pretty aggressive, suggested I put it in a fish only tank, that they'd go after shrimp, etc...

They grow to 15" and WILL EAT shrimp. Mine is in a FOWLR tank.
Not much info about them on the web.

Dear hobbyist , when I first got my corris wrasse , it was only 2".That was a little over a year ago .Now my corris wrasse is just about 5",with a solid yellow tail ,and a few blue speckles towards the end of the tail . The eyes appear to be green in color,while the head is slowly turning from orange to a greenish color . A friend of mine has a corris wrasse in his 125 ,which looks to be about 6 or 7 '', It has full color , and sleeps all day until feeding time . These fish are very colorful and take time to grow . So you'll need a little patience . Good luck.

I'm trying to feed mine to a plump full belly every night in hopes he can move into a bigger home soon. He is active during daylight hrs and goes to bed when the lights go off. Very curious and flips over shells and rocks all day looking for his next snack.
Already about 4-5", can't wait till he's a bigger.
