Red Coris Wrasse Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Red Coris Wrasse in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
• Compatibility: Can be housed with other semi-aggressive to aggressive fish of similar size. Not suitable for reef tanks with small invertebrates or crustaceans. Only one Coris wrasse per tank unless it's a very large system with ample hiding spots and introduced simultaneously.
• Special requirements: Requires a deep sand bed (at least 4-6 inches) for burrowing at night or when startled. Needs plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. Excellent water quality and strong filtration are essential. Known to jump, so a tight-fitting lid is crucial.
