Great fish
I had one for several years until he took the final leap. The colors in the face are just beautiful and that fish was a great worker. I love it when you get a fish that is great looking and also serves a useful function in the whole scheme of things and the Coris Wrasse certainly kept many things in check. Bristle worms, many pests, brittle stars. The one I had used to grab a stomatella snail by the shell, take it and whack it up against a piece of live rock until it dislodged the shell, spit the shell and take off for the morsel. I loved the way it slept in the sand bed and went to bed and got up at the same time each day. Fascinating fish and very sturdy. I got mine as a juvenile and it was fully grown in three years. It is not always easy to remove an overgrown fish from a reef tank. I had a Powder Blue nightmare this past year trying to do exactly that.

well im no expert so forgive me if i am wrong, but if i am correct, that would be a grandma not a grandpa. i believe male coris wrasses have 2 black spots on there dorsal fins where as females have none, as pictured.
I've been watching one of these at an LFS for over a year. Open top cube tank about four feet across. Have they done something to keep it from leaping? Or is it just a matter of time? My tank has a lid, but it stays open all summer due to heat issues. I'd love to put one in the tank, but I don't wanna search the floor for him...
Bump for a better answer than "I noticed that fish ain't at the lfs anymore..."
