Transform Your Tank with a Living Work of Art

Looking for something truly eye-catching and rare... The Eibli Mimic Tang (Acanthurus tristis) is one of the more coveted tangs in the saltwater aquarium hobby, and for good reason. Its striking resemblance to the beloved Eibli Angel, complete with vivid orange, black, and pale blue banding, makes it a genuine conversation piece in any reef tank. This is not a specimen you'll find at every shop, and serious collectors know exactly how special an opportunity this is.

Reaching up to 10 inches in the wild, most aquarium specimens settle comfortably in the 7 to 9 inch range in a well-maintained marine aquarium, making them a bold, substantial centerpiece. The Eibli Mimic Tang is an active, curious addition that patrols the rockwork with confidence, grazing throughout the day. Its lively personality and constant motion bring life and energy to any saltwater tank in a way few species can match.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

Every specimen from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, rigorously quarantined, and conditioned in our facility until it is eating consistently and thriving, so what arrives at your door is healthy, acclimated, and ready to become the centerpiece of your home aquarium.
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.
