Clown Tang
Transform Your Tank with a Collector-Grade Pacific Icon
Looking for something truly rare in the hobby? The Clown Tang (Acanthurus lineatus) is one of the most visually arresting saltwater species available — a bold mosaic of electric blue, gold, and black horizontal striping that commands attention in any marine aquarium. Sourced from select Pacific fisheries, this is a specimen that serious collectors actively seek out, and one that rarely stays in stock for long.
Clown Tangs grow to an impressive 15 inches in the wild, making them a long-term centerpiece for spacious reef tanks of 250 gallons or more. They are known for their assertive, territorial personality — best suited for experienced aquarists who appreciate a specimen with presence and character. That bold temperament, paired with their extraordinary coloration, makes every interaction with your tank a genuine spectacle.
