Transform Your Tank with a Reef Safe Lyretail Angel

Looking for an angel you can trust around your corals? The female Watanabei Angel is one of the few angels that generally leaves corals and clams alone. It swims out in open water where you can see it, not hidden in the rockwork. The soft blue body and black edged lyretail stand out against colorful coral in any saltwater aquarium. Watanabei don't come available often, and we're glad to have this one at The Coral Boutique.

A medium female is a good size to add to a system, and she'll grow to about 6 inches. She'll cruise the middle and upper water column at a calm, steady pace, which suits a peaceful reef tank. Leave plenty of open space above the rockwork for her to swim. Females do well on their own or in a small group with one male.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?

At The Coral Boutique, we specialize in ethically sourced, healthy, and exceptionally rare saltwater aquarium specimens. When you purchase from us, you can rest assured that your new addition has been carefully quarantined, conditioned, and is eating well before it ever ships to your door.

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.

INTRODUCTION MATTERS

Give New Fish a Stable Start.
