Red Corris wrasse

What is the biggest concern I adding a red coris wrasse to a mixed reef? I used to have shrimp but my pink spot goby took care of them. Would they mess with anything else?

 

They eat any/all inverts in your tank, meaning crabs, snails, shrimp, urchins, etc.

They don't directly harm your coral, but they will flip over anything they can searching for food. Smaller things may get damaged from suddenly becoming mobile...

Also note, they reach 15" in length when full grown. Needs a large tank.

 

They are awesome looking fish but not exactly for the reef tank, if I eve do a large FWLRO tank they are on my list of a must have though!

 

Thank you for the quick response. Might have to wait for a fowlr tank. Always get great advice here!

 

I have kept one for three plus years then had to get rid of it. Took him from a 3" juvi to a 6" adult.
They get sand everywhere and flip anything that isn't secured down excessively well. Hermits are gone. Snails like cerths are gone. Other snails like larger ones or smaller ones are usually okay. Shrimp are hit or miss with the specimen.

 

Thanks Dingo, I do have snails and frags. So ill hold off. Thank you for the personal experience everyone.
