Which one is better ???

[Fish_LOVEr]

My LFS got some beautiful red coris wrasse and one juvenile dragon wrasse. So do you think which one is better : dragon or coris ? They are both beautiful but i think the dragon is aggresive. Any advise would be great !

In the right system my vote would be the red coris. The adult coloration on the coris is striking in comparison to an adult dragon.

the red coris are beautiful but get large. the dragon changes into a much less attractive fish when it gets older and can move some really large rocks. i would personally go with either the red coris or something a little smaller

Both fish are very comparable in size, temperament, and care.

The dragon wrasse loses much of it's color and the extensions on the dorsal as it ages. They also are called rockmover wrasses for their propensity to flip rocks. The red coris stays beautifully colored, and while it may move some rocks, it is not the frequency or size that the dragon wrasse does.

I'd say it's a wash too...
