Red coris wrasse pics?

[Aari007]

I have my own red coris wrasse & it's absolutely amazing! It's too fast for me to snap a pic though. Does anyone have any pics of their coris wrasse that they want to share?

Just my yellow one, but he sleeps in well into the afternoon, so he won't be up for about 5-6 hours yet, lol.

I have a large juvi. He should be transitioning soon. Like you said hard to photograph as he is always swimming so fast. I have him with a Formosa and Dragon Wrasse. They all get along so far and will be a nice trio of rock movers!
In the picture he’s by the Darwin Jawfish.

He looks to be transitioning at the very moment actually

Great. He’s the first one I’ve been able to keep alive. I’ve heard they can be hard to acclimate. But he’s doing well. I’ve had him for a few weeks.

I gave up my red corris.

He got to aggressive as he was transitioning. I'll have to stop over to my friends house and see how he's doing.

I would agree. You can see some of the stripes are diminishing, and the tell tale sign of polka dots starting along the anal fin.

Like your said they are never still! Here is a clip!

By the looks of that one, I would say he's about 80% transitioned. Still see some white stripes, and he doesn't have his full body color yet.

Yup, extremely close to being transitioned! The blue washout from my lousy camera doesn't help any but the color pop is pretty good @ this point.

I also went through a few over the years. Had a coris in my 50g cube, lasted about a year then the six line began his reign of terror. Kept it in the sand for about a month and it perished.

Previous to that I had one in a 150g fowlr, it was getting nice and big, about 6-7" long when I broke the tank down.

Had one in my current 120g before the one in my vid. It ate at the qt'ed importer, got it home and it went on a hunger strike. Lasted maybe 3 weeks. It would come out swim around, but never would eat anything that was dropped in.

I so wish I could have kept mine! He was was getting way to aggressive. Started chasing other fish, and would pace the side glass most days. When a fish starts pacing, to me that means they want more room to swim.

My wife liked him as a juvi, I actually like their transitioned colors better.

I prefer the transitioned colors myself. Its a beautiful fish. Other half wants to try a flavor of leopard wrasse again. I'm still having nightmares from the flukes outbreak I went through after putting one in!

Couple pics of mine just before I tore the tank down to get him out.

DO IT!!!!!

Leopards are my most favorite class of wrasse. Still need to get out to Rochester to have a look at the chaoti the LFS is holding for me.

Currently house a moyers, melagris, and negrosensis leopards.

I would change my name to @Labridaedicted but it's already taken.

I think I will... Ill ask on the mega thread on suggestions for what flavor of leopard.

Had to dig this out, previous Coris from the 50g, excuse the combo cyano and green slime algae. I was on the road for work a LOT and didn't realize my rodi had packed up!

They ate the emperor? How big were both the fishes?

 

[homer1475]

Hmmm. Just realized how much my corals have grown in a few months.

Oh no... I was saying the coris ate food at the fish importer. I buy from the middle man (the step before LFS). I brought it home and then it stopped eating!
