Wrasse compadability question

Agreeing with other suggestions. I don't think Coris wrasses are good for most reef tanks, especially since they are commonly aggressive once they get older. I think there are better fish suited for reef tanks.

 

Mystery Wrasse is an awesome "reef safe" Wrasse, albiet quite expensive. They go for about $120.00 around my way.

 

Well, see a yellow coris is not really a coris wrasse at all. It is a halichoeres wrasse, and is reef safe.

The Red coris wrasse the OP posted is so far from being reef safe that I would strongly advise not getting it. They get HUGE also, and will eat snails, knock stuff over all day in a reef tank. Anyone that wants one of these red coris wrasses should have t absolute bare minimum a 125g tank.

 

I just want to declare what everyone has been hunting around, but hasn't been specifically stated. In consideration of wrasse and reef tanks, just pay attention to the genus. The genus will tell you a lot about their reef compatibility. If it's not Cirrhilabrus, Paracheilinus, Halichoeres, Pseudocheilinus, Wetmorella, or Macropharyngodon (these are difficult and need well established tanks) stay away.
