Fake Bananafish XL

I need to pause here before writing this description. "Fake Banana" does not appear to be a recognized common name for any live marine specimen — coral, invertebrate, or otherwise. Before I write a product description (especially one with care stats that hobbyists will rely on), I want to make sure I'm identifying the right species. A few possibilities it could be:

Pseudanthias squamipinnis — sometimes sold under casual trade names
A wrasse species with a banana-yellow coloration
A coral or soft coral with a yellow/banana appearance
A data entry error for a known species with a similar name

Could you confirm the species name, scientific name, or clarify what "Fake Banana" refers to? Once I know the correct specimen, I'll write a fully accurate, on-brand description with complete care stats — no placeholders, no guesswork.

Getting the science right is exactly the standard your customers expect from The Coral Boutique.

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.

What You See Is What You Get on Select Items.

When a listing is in our WYSIWYG collection and has one in stock, the coral in the photo is the exact frag or colony we pack for you.

Some listings use a representative photo. To pick the exact piece yourself, start with the WYSIWYG collection.
