Coris gaimard
Common Name Red Coris Wrasse Adult
Also known as Yellowtail Coris
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.
Range in Nature Indo-Pacific
Minimum Aquarium Size 75
Diet and Feeding Requires frequent feeding. Offer a varied diet of frozen prepared foods, minced fresh table shrimp, and a good flake food. Feed at least twice a day.
Reef Aquarium Compatibility Not Recommended. This fish feeds on a wide array of invertebrates, including snails, sand-dwelling bivalves, hermit crabs, crabs, chitons, shrimp, isopods, amphipods and sea urchins. Larger individuals regularly flip over corals and live rock.
yes this was copied from another site...LOL I paid 39.99 for him and he is reaking havoc in my sand. But he is very cool to watch.

No way should a 75gal be the minimum. These guys get 14" and grow pretty quick. They would almost have to fold to turn around in a 55 or 75. Not to mention all the sand they kick up, you need a large enough system to handle the spikes. Like most large wrasses they love to swim and need lots of room to do so.

This is my juvi red coris wrasse. I hope someday he looks like yours. Usually you can get the juvi's for cheap, but the adults fetch a much higher price. I have had mine for almost a year, and he has finally got his schedule right to where I get to see him for a few hours a day. I have gone weeks at a time without seeing mine, cause he would be out while I was at work.
