Twin Spot Coris Wrasse

  • ​Juvenile Rainbow Wrasse are generally reef safe but as they mature can start being a bit destructive.

  • Harems can be kept in the aquarium with 1 male and several females if added at the same time.

  • Provide an aquarium with ample rock work, cracks, crevices and caves for hiding and resting.

  • Coris Wrasse are burrowers and need a thick sand bed to sleep and rest in.They spend a great deal of time turning over rock and coral rubble in search of crustaceans. Adults should be fed twice a day large amounts of meaty foods with juveniles being fed a few more times daily.

  • Avoid adding smaller more peaceful fish as the Coris Wrasse may harass them.

  • Wrasse are hermaphrodites meaning they start as juveniles/females but at some point in their life may turn into a male.
