yeah adult red coris (aka yellowtail aka C. gaimardi) i got one that looks the same. it will bury its entire body in the sand. but not in the stuff you have. please provide it with oolitic sand. just a tray big enough to fit itself in will do. be warned that when they dive bomb into the sand, they'll kick it up.

edit: btw does it always have its mouth open like that or just when you took those pics?

Thanks for all the info.
I shot this fish at the Sealife aquarium in Helsinki not in my tank.
Promise to take a cup of sand from my tank and throw it in their tank if I'm there again.
As for it's mouth I remember that I had to wait for it for a while to take the open mouth shots.
Still it did it frequently enough.

Them crazy Fins . They probably put that substrate in on purpose so the wrasse couldn't hide.
