What does it eat and how large do they get? Are they compatible with most reef livestock (inverts, fish, etc)? Thanks!

thereyr active fish that will borrow, theyre really pretty and will eat mysis ans ya know formula foods or cycolpeze.
but they will also eat pods, and stuff like that.
theyre are jumpers, so make sure your tank is covered. (Dean you have a canopy rite? so that should be a problem)
theyre pretty peacfull as far as im concerned, just be carfull when messing with the sand as, they burrow very well and you can scare or hurt them, or theyll scare you when they shoot out from under the sand!!!!
PRETTY FISH!!!

matt, michael stern might want this fish, he's got a 450 with sand

Matt,

I might be interested. I need to do a little checking. I just picked up a juv coris wrasse. Seems similar, except color. Don't want to start a war.

michael marrone just sent in the first wrasse installment for the fish faq, check there and see if it has your answer.

 

[michael stern]

It's listed, but doesn't say about compatability. I'd think it's ok given my tank size. I've looked around and it does seem compatible with it's own kind.

I'll pm him

 

[marrone]

It's general not a good idea to mix Coris wrasse together as they'll usually fight with each other. The large yellow wrasse will probably chase the smaller Juv Coris and they Juv Coris probably will spend most of the time hiding in the sand.

If you want anothe wrasse try one of another of the group or better yet a Hog fish.

 

[marrone]

Don't forget that this group of wrasse get to be a pretty good size, the Yellow on is already 6" and some get up to 1'-3' range. Even with a big tank they will usually fine each other specially as they grow.

It say you can. Probably shouldn't take the risk

 

[marrone]

Your mixing 2 wrasses of the same species together for the most part that's usually doesn't work. Also one of the large is large, 6".

I have one in a BB tank for 8 months now, I find it sleeping in rock holes at night.

They are known to eat pyramid snails off the clams.

I've found that you can not trust the info that live aquaria has on it's site.
It all looks very impressive but much of it is just wrong.

Pierce do you ever see black and blue marks on your wrasses head from him trying to bury in the marina board?

I didn't use a marine board, it is 1/8" acrylic.

Never noticed any marks, I only tried him in the reef after seeing the larger one in my FOWLR sleeping in rocks every now and then.

[michael stern]

Matt,

I think I need to pass.

I am waiting to see how my new juv coris wrasse takes. Still hiding in the sand. I think the yellow might cause problems for the little guy. sorry.

Michael
