Coris is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Known for their vibrant colors and patterns, these fish are popular in the reefkeeping hobby. They are active swimmers and require ample space to thrive. Coris species often start life as females and can change to males as they mature, a process known as protogynous hermaphroditism. They play a role in controlling pests like pyramid snails and flatworms, making them beneficial for maintaining coral health.
