Dapple Coris

The Dapple Coris (Coris variegata) is a species associated with reef environments, typically found at depths ranging from 1 to 10 meters. Endemic to the 🌊 Red Sea, this species is often mistakenly identified as Coris batuensis in the Indo-West Pacific due to their close resemblance.

This fish frequently inhabits sand and rubble substrates within coral reef ecosystems and serves as a benthic predator. It exhibits oviparous reproduction with distinct pairing behavior observed during breeding.
