We really like this fish and we see it sometimes get a bad name when males fight or get a snail or two, but we sure like it.

Agreed, I have one in my reef and it is by far the most active fish in my aquarium. Nice informational vid!

I love a wrasse! That one is a beauty! I'm a huge fan of the red coris. Tried with 3/4 in my first tank with no success. Now have a juvenile in my nano and is doing great!

Being fast and camera shy made it hard to get a good shot. Sorry.

I love this fish too, glad to see that many people on the forum are not scared off by the males occasional attitude

Darn, I forgot to check last night if mine was a male or female, I'm thinking male.

So has anyone had any issues with them eating CUC critters? I think mine does.

They are a sweet fish, this last year at MACNA they had whole lecture dedicated to them and the husbandry of them and that was done really well for the trade/hobby. I think the more people try them and work with each type the more info will be available to help each person pick the correct wrasse for their type of tank and tank mates.
