Green fish addition

[Reef Wizard]

Hello,

Looking to add a green fish to my reef tank.

Any suggestions apart from Chromis?

I ideally would like a green coris Wrasse but they seem hard to come by.

Thanks

What size tank are we talking?

What tankmates? The green coris wrasse can get a tad aggressive

I have thought about it my wife wants one. Just dont know if I want another ground dwelling fish. I have a watchman goby now.

Yeah I did read they can be aggressive. I do also like melanarus I did try one but it died spotantensly 2 days after arriving I think he had UNWD from shipping or ran into the side of tank too hard

I loved my melanarus. Lived almost 9 years.

More blue than green I’d say, though.

My mandarin cruises all over my tank. Definitely not just a ground dweller

Eating frozen? Is it easy to get to eat frozen? I have gotten a few CBBs to eat frozen and my current one does

Lunare wrasse! I love mine, he zooms around my tank and is a pretty shade of green. Holds his own with my more aggressive fish

I see it go for frozen occasionally. He’s looking for pods all day long too

You can get captive bred ones that will take frozen readily.

Oh that I dont know, I dont have inverts in that tank since its the tank with my eels, triggers and grouper. He loves clams on a half shell so would probably eat clams if you had them

Yeah I was thinking Biota for one if I did go that route

Note to OP though, as these guys are sexually dimorphic. The females are not green (they will turn male with time though, but might be brown for a bit )
