Convict Tang (Medium)

Typical for this species. Ask us if you're unsure.

Transform Your Tank with Bold Stripes and Effortless Presence

Looking for a striking, instantly recognizable centerpiece? The Convict Tang, named for its unmistakable black-and-white banding, is one of the most visually arresting specimens available for the home aquarium. While not as commonly stocked as its tang relatives, this Indo-Pacific native commands attention the moment it enters a saltwater aquarium, bringing a graphic, high-contrast elegance that few other marine species can match.

At medium size, this specimen is past the delicate juvenile stage and already developing the confident, assertive personality Convict Tangs are known for. They're active, curious swimmers that patrol every corner of a reef tank, making your display feel alive and dynamic. Their hardiness and adaptability make them a genuinely rewarding long-term addition for intermediate to experienced aquarists who want personality alongside beauty.

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 feeding and thriving before it ever ships to you. When you buy a Convict Tang online through us, you're getting a healthy, acclimated marine specimen, not a gamble.
Fish Health

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.
Compatibility

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.
Shipping & Pickup

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.
Live Arrival Guarantee

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.
Acclimation

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.
Photography

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.
