Curator's Note

Wrasses are known to jump from aquariums. Be sure to have some sort of covering with no large open holes that they can escape from.

Other Common Names

Green Wrasse, Pastel Green Wrasse, Green Coris

Description

The Green Coris is a durable fish that is safe with corals but will eat fanworms, small snails and small ornamental shrimps. Green Coris Wrasses also eat pyramidillid snails and flatworms. They require sand to sleep and hide in. They may tend to harass other small non-aggressive wrasses as adults so it is best to obtain juveniles.

Diet

Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel.
