Summary ²

Coris julis, the Mediterranean rainbow wrasse, is a small colourful fish in the family Labridae. It can be found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the northeast Atlantic Ocean from Sweden to Senegal (though it is absent from the British Isles). Records of this species south from Senegal and the Cape Verde Islands are actually the closely related Coris atlantica.
