Juvenile red corris
It looks cool with the juvi spots, but some of the adult colors coming in.

Im the last guy to worry about reef safe fish but you worried about the beautiful red coris getting nasty later?
Possibly. A buddy of mine has one about 12"+ make sure everything is well glued it will test everything. He has no problems. Mine's about 4", so far flips some zoa's I don't have glued. No different than my blue spot JF stealing them for her burrow every now and then.
I stand corrected.
Tried to get better shots but they never cooperate. I would never argue with an expert if thats what you guys say he is very happy with this beautiful fish. Not the first time the place i got him mismarked something
Even if they are already eating they can still mysteriously just die. I suspect they are sensitive to water chemistry consistency.
If these guys are already eating, how hard are these guys to care for? Thanks.. Any input much appreciated...
Bluezoo has a "lanceolatus" listed for $260. This can't be legit right? I thought lance's were like unicorns and more in the 2-3k range... @evolved @eatbreakfast

I wonder if it's a C. isoscoles (used to be called C. cf lanceolatus)? I'm almost tempted to order it just in case it's the real deal!
Me too, but I have a feeling I'd end up with a rose-banded or pintail [emoji23] which are both nice, but not a lanceolatus.
I emailed customer service to see if they would send me a picture.
Me too [emoji23][emoji848]
A C. lanceolatus should still be in the $2-3k range.
I agree. It would very likely be one of these 2 species.

By far THE most challenging Macropharyngodon. Alk swings have been known to kill them.

Not quite an adult yet, but it is transitioning into it's adult coloration from the juvi coloration.

Yeah... those are all three males. ;)
Temperament wise they're usually not too bad. However, they are really good at using their weight/size to search for food. Motile inverts are definitely on the menu.
Right... So long as you're aware of their behaviors, you can plan your reef such that the rock work is stable (with no small rocks) and all corals are well glued down. Corals on the sand bed usually won't work.
99.9% odds that it's roseafascia.
Don't bother. I literally cannot count the times over the last 20 years that a vendor has sold roseafascia as "lanceolatus". A lot of people have been disappointed, again and again.
When/if a vendor is selling lanceolatus, they are well aware of what they have, the price tag is 2k+, and they will not have more than one or two available.

I was at a store today and they had a juvy red coris but other fish didnt look good so i controlled myself
They have been housed together for 5 weeks and so far so good. I have more issues with my Chocolate Tang and my Magnificent Foxface getting along.
