Reef safe wrasse

NOT! Lol. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pictures but this guy is chomping off one leg at a time from a micro brittle starfish. Bites off a leg, drops the star fish, eats the leg, picks the starfish back up and repeat. Brutal!

Looks like a coris wrasse.
Snails will be running.

Ya sold to me about 6 months ago as a totally reef safe clown wrasse. Lfs workers are the best . Oh well, the wife loves the thing!

Looks like a Red Coris Wrasse, generally not reef compatible and can grow up between 15" and 20". From what I read, they are great hunters and should only be housed with fish only tanks.

Ya it's been fine but I imagine once it matures it'll need moved to my fish only tank. Such a cool fish though! And from what I've read in captivity they don't grow over 8"

Yes, I agree this is a super cool fish. I would love to have one, maybe one day...I can have a fish-only tank with all kinds of cool fish.
