The Coris gaimard, commonly known as Gaimard's wrasse or the yellow-tailed wrasse, is a stunning and brilliantly colored marine fish that adds an exotic splash of color to any saltwater aquarium. Offered by Aqualine, this species goes through remarkable color transformations from a vibrant juvenile red to a striking deep blue and green adult stage with neon spots.

This wrasse is known for its high activity level and engaging personality, making it a favorite among marine hobbyists. However, it requires specific care and a well-prepared environment to thrive.

• Minimum Tank Size: Recommended 300 liters (80 gallons) or larger to accommodate its swimming needs.
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive. Can be territorial towards other wrasses or peaceful bottom-dwellers.
• Water Parameters: Temperature 74-79°F (24-26°C), salinity 1.020-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4.
• Diet: Carnivorous/Omnivorous. Thrives on a varied diet of frozen foods (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, krill) and high-quality pellets.
• Special Requirements: Known to bury itself in the sand substrate at night or when startled; a deep sand bed (at least 2-3 inches) is essential.

Coris gaimard is an exceptional choice for intermediate to advanced aquarists looking to elevate the vibrancy and activity of their marine setup.
