Doesn't that end up looking like this and become 15 inches long?

+1 I have an adult red corris in my reef tank right now. Put him in the reef tank when he was a juvi so my lunare wrasse that I had at the time in my fowlr wouldn't kill it. However about 2yrs ago I had some strange disease go through my tanks and I lost my lunare (as well as a few others) and when I tried to catch the red corris and move him over to QT it proved impossible. In my 230g reef I had every rock out of the tank and I still couldn't catch him. Dug up the whole sand bed and still no luck, waited 3 days and there was no sign of him. Figured he died and put the rock back. A week later I saw him out and about doing just fine still in the reef tank. He's grown quite a bit since I first got him and he's also killed pretty much all my snails and crabs in my reef

Had one of these for few years some time ago. It ate all the snails and crabs and if anything was not glued down it got flipped over or ended up on the sandbed, became annoying after a while. Would do well in a FO system but in a reef it may be a little more trouble than it's worth, IMO/E

And they are a master at hiding
