Expert Only species

This is one of the most sensitive fish in the hobby and is only suited to experienced reef keepers. It's prone to ich after shipping, even with the quarantine and observation we do before it ships. A claim for a fish that arrives dead or sick needs a photo of the fish in its sealed, unopened bag, emailed with your order number within 2 hours of delivery. Without that photo we can't verify the claim. All other sales are final.

I've read and agree to the Expert Only terms.

Achilles Tang (Medium) Transform Your Tank with a Stunning Orange Flame Accent Looking for a striking centerpiece for your saltwater aquarium? The Achilles tang brings bold orange and yellow coloring with unmatched visual impact under reef lighting. This rare marine species is a prized addition for collectors who appreciate distinctive beauty and dynamic movement. At The Coral Boutique, we specialize in sourcing exceptional specimens that stand out in any setup. The Achilles tang's graceful swimming and commanding presence make it a natural focal point in reef tanks. These specimens are known for their energetic behavior and striking contrast against rockwork and corals. Medium-sized Achilles tangs are at the perfect stage for integration: large enough to hold their own, but still adaptable to established aquarium environments.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

At The Coral Boutique, we specialize in ethically sourced, healthy, and exceptionally rare saltwater aquarium specimens. When you purchase from us, you can rest assured that your new addition has been carefully quarantined, conditioned, and is eating well before it ever ships to your door.

Our fish are selected with appearance, behavior, and feeding response in mind before being listed. We aim to offer healthy, alert specimens for established saltwater systems.

Please confirm this fish is compatible with your tank size, current livestock, temperament needs, and reef goals before ordering. If you are unsure, contact us before checkout and we’ll help you choose responsibly.

Livestock ships Monday through Wednesday. We confirm a delivery day with you before your order goes out, and we will hold it if the weather is bad or an animal needs more time in quarantine.

Fish orders over $599 qualify for free shipping. Coral orders over $399 qualify for free shipping. Free same-day Miami pickup is available at 46 NW 36th St and is usually ready in 1–2 hours.

Eligible livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the animal in its sealed bag before you open anything, then email that photo with your order number within two hours of delivery. Our team reviews every claim and gets you an answer within one business day. Failed delivery attempts, refused packages, or missed delivery windows may void coverage.

Acclimate fish carefully and introduce them into a stable, established saltwater aquarium. Match temperature and salinity slowly, keep lights low during introduction, and monitor behavior closely after release.

We photograph our fish in house to show their coloration and patterning as clearly as we can. Colors can look different under your own lights.

When a fish in our WYSIWYG collection has one in stock, the photo is the exact fish you receive. Other fish listings use a representative photo of the species and the quality you can expect. Every fish is carefully selected for health, coloration, and temperament before shipping.

SELECTED FOR ESTABLISHED SYSTEMS

Healthy Fish Start With Careful Selection.

Every fish is selected with color, behavior, and compatibility in mind. We focus on livestock that makes sense for real reef systems, not just impulse purchases.

If you have questions about temperament, tank size, or reef compatibility, contact us before ordering.

INTRODUCTION MATTERS

Give New Fish a Stable Start.
