The African Red Clown Coris Wrasse is a striking and vibrant addition to intermediate-level aquarists' tanks. This aggressive species displays bold red and orange coloration with distinctive patterns that intensify as it matures. Known for its active, curious behavior, it will constantly forage along the substrate and rockwork, making it an engaging specimen to observe. Best suited for established reef tanks of at least 100 gallons, this wrasse requires plenty of swimming space and hiding spots among live rock. It reaches up to 16 inches at maturity and demands a varied diet of meaty foods and small crustaceans to thrive. Due to its aggressive temperament, it should be housed with caution around smaller fish and delicate invertebrates, as it may prey on them. Provide stable water conditions, strong filtration, and a secure lid—wrasses are known jumpers. With proper care and a well-maintained environment, this stunning fish will become a bold centerpiece in your aquarium.
