About this fish
About this fish
Twin Spot Coris Large is a marine wrasse (Coris aygula) sold for the home saltwater aquarium. As an active, rock-cruising fish, it can help bring movement to your aquascape while also supporting natural-looking “foraging” behavior. It’s commonly chosen to help control certain tank pests, and it typically does best when it can quickly establish itself, feed confidently, and feel secure at night.
Features:
- Active wrasse that cruises the rockwork throughout the day
- Frequently described as reef safe, helping it fit many community-style setups
- May help control pests such as flatworms and bristle worms
- Eats a varied diet, doing well on foods like frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and quality pellets
- Often burrows into the sand or hides in a mucus cocoon at night, so a sand bed is beneficial
- Strong jumper—use a tight-fitting lid to reduce escape risk
- Arrive-to-tank transition is important: acclimate slowly and provide a quiet settling area before introducing it to normal tank traffic
Specifications:
- Livestock type: Wrasse (Coris aygula)
- Care level (general): Moderate (typical wrasse feeding and secure-tank requirements)
- Temperament: Active; generally compatible in many reef-style community tanks (often described as reef safe)
- Diet: Frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and quality pellets (2–3 times per day)
- Substrate/placement: Benefits from a sand bed for nighttime burrowing/hiding
- Containment: Tight lid recommended (wrasses can jump)
