The African Coris Wrasse, Coris cuvieri, is commonly referred to as the African Wrasse. The juvenile and adult appearances vary greatly, where in juveniles they mimic clownfish with a reddish brown body with partial white stripes, and adults showcase a dark green body with pink/red stripes on the face, and green and red fins on the body. Males will showcase more color and vibrancy then females. It prefers a brightly lit tank with plenty of places to hide and swim. It will occasionally clean the body surface of other fishes, in an attempt to remove parasites and dead tissue but this is usually less common once they reach adulthood. Feed them 2-3 times a day a mixture of frozen thawed brine shrimp, mysis, krill, and other meaty saltwater foods.
