Stephanie Harris –
Bought the juvenile red coris for my 100-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does show signs of aggression toward smaller fish. I’ve had to carefully manage tank mates. Still, it’s a striking addition to the display.
Luke Tucker –
The fish arrived healthy and vibrant. After a few weeks, it started cleaning the tank and showing interest in algae. I keep a close eye on its behavior, especially with smaller invertebrates.
Robert Poole –
It’s aggressive and not suitable for a mixed community. I placed it in a tank with larger, non-susceptible fish. It’s active and beautiful, but requires careful planning.
