Green Coris Wrasse

The Green Wrasse, Halichoeres chloropterus, is also known as the Pastel Green Wrasse or Green Wrasse.

A thick sandy substrate is suggested, because when frightened it generally hides itself in the sand, and will spend most of its early introduction hiding in the sand. The aquarium should also have plenty of live rock to create hiding places, and a tight fitting lid, as this Wrasse is know for jumping. It is widely known for its ability to protect Corals and Clams by eating Fireworms, Flatworms and Pyramidillid Snails, as well as Feather Dusters and Tubeworms.
