Fake Banana XL

Transform Your Tank with Rare Citrus Color and Striking Presence

Looking for a bold centerpiece species that turns heads... The Fake Banana is one of those rare saltwater aquarium finds that stops experienced hobbyists mid-scroll. Its vivid yellow coloration — warm, saturated, and almost unreal — earns the name the moment you see it in a well-lit reef tank. This is not a species you'll find at every shop, and at XL size, it arrives with the kind of presence that anchors an entire aquascape.

At XL, this specimen brings serious visual weight to any home aquarium without demanding expert-level husbandry. It adapts well to established saltwater tanks, holds its territory confidently, and develops a distinct personality over time — one of the more interactive and rewarding marine additions you can make. Aquarists who keep one rarely keep just one.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

Every specimen we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until it's actively eating and thriving — so it arrives ready to settle in, not stressed out. When you buy exotic marine species online, that difference matters.

If this coral is in our WYSIWYG collection and has one in stock, the photos show the exact frag or colony that ships to you. Otherwise, the photos may be representative.

Coral orders ship 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 a coral needs more time in quarantine.

Coral orders over $399 qualify for free shipping. Fish orders over $599 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 coral orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the coral 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.

For best results, acclimate slowly and place new corals in lower light and flow before moving them to their final position. Coral response can vary depending on tank stability, lighting, flow, and water parameters.

We photograph our corals in house, up close, so you can judge color, shape and polyp extension. For WYSIWYG listings with one in stock, the photographed coral is the exact coral that ships.
