Product Description

The Formosa Wrasse is also referred to as the Formosan Coris or Queen
Coris. The juvenile and adult appearances vary greatly. As a juvenile,
the body color is orange with white tiger stripes across the back. The
stripes and fins are outlined in black. As an adult, the females have a
dark blue-green body with black spots, accented by red on the fins, and a
light-blue diagonal stripe across the orange face. The males have a
light-blue body with vertical blue stripes and several green stripes on
the face.It requires a 180 gallon or larger aquarium with a 4-6 inch layer of
sand in which to bury itself. It is an excellent hunter and will leave
no rock unturned (literally) in search of food. The Formosa Wrasse will
eat urchins, crabs, shrimp, and small invertebrates.The Formosa Wrasse diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis
shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods
along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.
