The Red Coris Wrasse adult specimens in the wild can easily grow to 40cm. The juvenile and adult appearances vary greatly. As a youth, the body colour is orange with white tiger stripes or spots across the back. The stripes and fins are outlined in black. In adulthood, the body takes on a speckled blue coloration, the fins are decorated with yellows, reds, and blues, and the face is orange with green stripes. The male has a light green stripe on the body, just above the anal fin.
The Red Coris Wrasse requires a 450 litre or larger aquarium with a sandy bottom into which it will burrow to sleep, or if it is threatened. Do not attempt to keep the Red Coris Wrasse on crushed coral or similar substrate as they have a poor survival rate on such substrates. When very small, Red Coris are safe with almost any fish that will not eat them, but as they grow, they can become destructive. They should not be kept with invertebrates.
The Red Coris Wrasse diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis and brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and pellet food.
