Received the Red Coris Formosa Wrasse in excellent condition. The color is vivid and the fish is active and healthy. It has adapted well to our 120-gallon reef tank after a few weeks. Highly recommend for experienced saltwater keepers.

The fish arrived with a strong color and good posture. It has been in the tank for about a month and seems to be adjusting well. A bit shy at first, but now it swims freely. Good quality for the Maldives grade.

This is one of the most colorful wrasses we’ve had. The Maldives special grade is clearly visible in the fish’s body pattern. It’s active and helps maintain the reef by cleaning algae. Very satisfied with the purchase.
