A terrific wrasse at all ages. Juvenilles are a bold orange with white stripes. By the time they are an adult, they have tranformed into greenish blue with light blue specks, yellow tail and orange face. The one drawback is that the juvenilles have a low survival rate in captivity. It is best to aquire an older specimen. Also, they must have a fine substrate, since they bury when threatened. |

The Red Coris Wrasse (Coris gaimard) is sometimes called a Yellowtail Coris, a Red Labrid, or a Clown Wrasse. It belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 13.6 inches in length, the Red Coris Wrasse is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Coris gaimard should not be housed in a tank less than 100 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area, a fine substrate, and a deep substrate.
