Coris Wrasse is a vibrantly-colored wrasse that is sure to add visual appeal and energy to any aquarium in the marine realm. For example Yellow Wrasse is a popular species of wrasse for hobbyists at all levels due to its toughness and small size. It is interesting to note that young and juvenile female Yellow Wrasses have several dark spots along their fins. However, mature adults will have only one spot. The natural distribution for the Yellow Wrasse is concentrated in the Eastern Indian Ocean, extending to the Western Pacific Ocean including the Solomon Islands and north to Southern Japan, and as south as Rowley Shoals and the Australian coast of New South Wales. This Yellow Wrasse is a reef-associated species, usually found along the edges of reefs in rubble and sand areas. The best configuration to house Wrasse will be a properly-established saltwater tank of at least 50 gallons with a lid that is tight. In order to create the best habitat for your Wrasse Aquascape your aquarium with live rock, allowing plenty of places to allow your yellow Wrasse to investigate, search for refuge, or hunt in search of food. Make sure you have an extensive area of open substrate, in addition to open spaces to swim in. A layer of sand about 2 inches deep is necessary to give shelter to the Wrasse while it digs into the sand to enjoy the evening or when scared. Keep the Wrasse along with other tranquil species of wrasses. This includes the species it is a part of. The nutrition of Yellow Worasses is composed of benthic invertebrates . As they are large and hungry, the Wrasse can be found eating pyramidellid snails and fireworms. They are also responsible for safeguarding corals and clams from these harmful invertebrates. While this desire to eat invertebrates is advantageous, remember that Wrasse are unable to distinguish from "undesirable" or "desirable" invertebrates. If an opportunity arises for it, the Yellow Wrasse is most likely to take a bite of "desirable" decorative invertebrates such as shrimp, fan worms, and other crustaceans that are in the aquarium in your home. But it is important to note that the Wrasse is not likely to cause harm to sessile invertebrates, such as soft corals or hard corals. In the aquarium at home, the food plan of the Worm needs to include a variety of food items, such as mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, as well as other meaty food items, high quality marine flakes as well as marine pellet foods. This Yellow Wrasse will appreciate frequent, small-sized feedings all day long.
