I really wanted one for awhile but of course as soon as you want a certain fish you can't find it for sale anywhere. So after a few months of looking at LFS I saw him. However when I first saw him on Jan. 30th at a lfs he looked really bad, honestly as much as I wanted a red coris, I thought for sure this one would be dead in a few days, he was really skinny and just laid down at the bottom of the tank. However I went back to that lfs on Feb. 14th and much to my surprise he was still alive. He still was still somewhat skinny but he was swimming around a bit. I still wasn't sure though since he was so much smaller/skinnier then everyone else in my FOWLR tank and I didn't want him to be out competed for food, so I resisted the urge to buy him. Well when I went back to that same lfs on Feb. 22nd and he was still there, I thought to myself well he looks a lot better then when I first saw him, I wonder if he's eating. Luckily the staff there was just about to feed mysis to the tank he was in, so I watched closely to see if he was eating. Well after he gobbled up a fair amount of mysis I thought to myself he just had to come home with me. Ironically I was at that same lfs on March 7th and they just had a guy surrender (from his home tank) a very large about 8" very fat red coris wrasse to them. They didn't have a price up yet but I bet he'd cost a lot more then the one I paid for  Overall though I'm very happy with my little guy. He's eating lots (mysis and pellets) and I'm sure I'll fatten him up in no time. Plus he's got a lot of spunk and personality

They are a great fish, but as mentioned when they get used to the tank they can do some harassing to smaller fish. Mine also likes to eat my zoas when it misses the morning feed or did not get enough. I love the coloring of them though, and from watching mine it is very active.
