Yellow Coris Wrasse: A Flash of Sunshine for Your Reef!

Bring vibrant energy and natural pest control to your marine aquarium with the active and stunning Yellow Coris Wrasse. An ideal choice for brightening your established reef.

Overview
The Yellow Coris Wrasse, also known as the Yellow Wrasse, dazzles with its brilliant yellow body, often displaying subtle black ocelli on its dorsal fin, which may vary with age and gender. These slender, active fish constantly explore their surroundings, darting through rockwork and sifting sandy substrates. Their engaging, busy behavior makes them a captivating focal point, adding dynamic movement and a splash of sunny colour to your underwater landscape.

Care Level
Considered hardy and moderately easy to care for, the Yellow Coris Wrasse is generally peaceful, making it a good community tank inhabitant. While mostly reef-safe, caution is advised with very small ornamental invertebrates like cleaner shrimp or fanworms, which they might occasionally perceive as food if not adequately fed. They coexist well with other non-aggressive marine species, contributing to a harmonious environment.

Tank Essentials
A minimum of 150 litres is recommended for a single Yellow Coris Wrasse, providing ample swimming and foraging space. Your aquarium must feature a fine sand bed, at least 5-7.5 cm deep, for this wrasse to burrow into for sleep or security. A tight-fitting lid is crucial, as these fish are known jumpers, especially when startled or new to an environment. Maintain stable parameters for these healthy aquarium fish.

Diet
The Yellow Coris Wrasse is a carnivore, thriving on a varied diet of meaty foods. Offer high-quality vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped marine foods. Supplement with premium marine flakes or pellets. They are also excellent natural predators of undesirable pests like flatworms and bristle worms, contributing to a cleaner tank.
