Habitat:The eastern Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Cape Verde to Liberia.
Environment:Inhabits rocky rubble areas near eelgrass beds, typically found at depths between 100 and 130 feet (30-40 meters).
Diet:Feeds on benthic invertebrates, primarily hard-shelled ones.
Size:Can grow up to 5.9 inches (15 cm) in length.
Aquarium care:While not impossible, keeping Coris atlantica in a home aquarium requires a large tank (at least 800 liters or 211.3 gallons) with plenty of hiding spots and rocks for grazing. They are also known to be difficult to feed, requiring a diet of meaty foods like chopped fish and crustaceans.
