Received the juvenile red coris wrasse in good condition. It’s active and vibrant in the tank. After a few weeks, it started to show signs of territorial behavior, which is expected. The tank is now 100 gallons with plenty of hiding spots. I’m happy with the purchase as long as I manage the tank environment carefully.

The fish arrived healthy and looks very colorful. It’s been two months now and it’s still active. I’ve added more rock structures to help with aggression. It doesn’t eat much, so I feed it twice a day. Overall, it’s a striking addition to the reef setup.

The wrasse is present and seems to be adjusting. I noticed it chasing smaller fish, so I’ve reorganized the tank layout. It’s not the easiest to maintain, but it’s a unique and eye-catching species.
