Gaimard Clown Wrasse (Coris gaimard<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Gaimard Clown Wrasse, also known as the Red Coris Wrasse, is a vibrant and hardy species that undergoes a dramatic color transformation as it matures. Juveniles are bright orange-red with white spots, while adults develop bold blue and green hues with a yellow tail. Active and inquisitive, this wrasse adds color and personality to any large marine aquarium.<\/p>\n

Origin<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including Fiji, Tahiti, and the Great Barrier Reef, Coris gaimard<\/em> inhabits coral reefs and sandy areas where it forages for small invertebrates.<\/p>\n

Feeding<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A carnivore that thrives on frozen mysis, brine shrimp, chopped seafood, and high-quality marine pellets. Feed 2\u20133 times daily. This species also naturally hunts small crustaceans and worms within live rock and sand.<\/p>\n

Tank Mates<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Best kept with robust community fish such as tangs, angelfish, and larger wrasses. Avoid very small fish and ornamental crustaceans, which may be eaten.<\/p>\n

Aggression<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Semi-aggressive. Generally peaceful as a juvenile but can become territorial as it matures. Provide plenty of swimming space, live rock, and a sandy substrate for burrowing.<\/p>\n

Experience Level<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Requires a large, mature aquarium (minimum 125 gallons) with stable water parameters and a deep sand bed.<\/p>\n
