I can't ID without a better pic. Can you get one using a flash to show its colors?

Also, how long have you had the Red Coris? They can become quite aggressive with age, and also be very destructive, flipping over rockwork looking for food.

Appears to be this, C. cyanopleura or a variant.

If all of your rockwork and corals are secured, you may be ok there. Otherwise, they will take care of any smaller members of your CUC.

I hope so.. I really need to be more careful. LFS said no problem .. I guess I will find out the hard way on this guy.. Thanks..

I would suggest putting money down or even paying for a fish and then leaving it at the LFS for a period of time so you can fully do your research. Never buy based solely on LFS recommendations. They are all in the business to make money. Not all will steer you in the right direction unfortunately.

Agreed .. I just spent 12k with them on my tank setup and hoped they would provide sound advise .. But I agree with you on putting a payment down and looking things up.. I just ordered some "¢ Bluechin triggers "¢Sargassum Triggers not sure if thats a mistake or not.. I was told "no problem " lol
