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 collectors, 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.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

Every specimen from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our facility until it is actively eating and thriving, so you receive a healthy, acclimated addition that is genuinely ready for your home aquarium.

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.
