Hardy, long-lived, and one of the easier marine fish to keep, the Tomato Clown is an excellent choice for both newcomers to the saltwater hobby and experienced reef keepers who want a fish with character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich tomato-red colouration with a clean single white bar makes for one of the boldest, most classic clownfish looks available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmong the hardiest and most forgiving clownfish in the hobby, with a strong tolerance for minor parameter swings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn enthusiastic and unfussy eater that rarely needs coaxing onto prepared foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs readily, breeds willingly in captivity, and will often spawn in a well-maintained reef tank with minimal intervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA natural host for bubble tip anemones, but fully capable of thriving without one and will often adopt LPS corals as a surrogate host in captivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptive-bred specimens are widely available, making this an easy species to source responsibly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 22–26°C (72–78°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalinity: 1.020–1.025 SG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 8.1–8.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlkalinity: 8–12 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmmonia\/Nitrite: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrate: Under 20 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and temperament\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperament: Semi-aggressive.

Captive-bred specimens are strongly preferred over wild-caught for their hardiness and reduced disease risk, and are widely available in the trade. This fish can live 6 to 8 years on average under good care, with exceptional individuals reaching considerably longer. Breeding in the home aquarium is achievable without significant intervention; eggs are laid on a flat surface near the host and guarded actively by the male, hatching in 6 to 11 days depending on temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou will receive: 1 Tomato Clownfish (Amphiprion frenatus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemales are typically larger and darker in colouration; males are smaller and brighter orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuveniles may display additional faint white markings that fade as the fish matures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColouring and size can vary between individuals; captive-bred specimens may initially appear slightly darker than wild fish but develop full colour with time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Little Shop of Coral","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53462102638865,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53462102671633,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5196\/6737\/files\/TOMATOCLOWNAmphiprionfrenatus.png?v=1777152946"},{"product_id":"red-squirrelfish-neoniphon-sammara","title":"Red Squirrelfish (Neoniphon sammara)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Red Squirrelfish, also known as the Sammara, Bloodspot, or Spotfin Squirrelfish, is one of the most visually distinctive fish available in the marine hobby.

Unlike many other reef fish, tangs produce comparatively little protective body slime, leaving them far more vulnerable to parasitic attack, particularly during the stress of shipping and introduction. Quarantine before adding to any display tank is not optional for this species; a proper 4 to 6-week quarantine period is the standard most experienced hobbyists follow. Avoid any copper-based treatments in a reef system as copper will harm gut microfauna essential to tang digestion. Once established and feeding well in a stable, mature system, the Blue Hippo Tang is a durable, long-lived animal capable of living well beyond a decade with proper care. When startled, newly introduced fish will often wedge themselves into rockwork and remain hidden for the first day or two; this is normal and not a cause for concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou will receive: 1 Blue Hippo Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColouring intensity and the depth of the blue can vary between individuals and by region of origin; fish from the west-central Indian Ocean may show some yellow on the ventral surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize and exact patterning may vary; please see size options at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs with all tangs, slow acclimation and quarantine are strongly recommended before introduction to an established display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Little Shop of Coral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53466481066257,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5196\/6737\/files\/BlueHippoTang_b2a829ab-ec45-4f48-994e-17babf4a121c.png?v=1777227252"},{"product_id":"firetail-dottyback-labracinus-cyclophthalmus","title":"Firetail Dottyback (Labracinus cyclophthalmus)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Firetail Dottyback, also known as the Fire-tail Devil, Red Dottyback, or Dampiera Dottyback, is not a fish for the faint-hearted, and that is precisely why serious hobbyists love it.

Its body is a deep, saturated ruby red overlaid with intricate white markings across the head, with vivid yellow and orange accents on the ventral and pectoral fins. Males display an elaborate, flag-like first dorsal fin that they raise in dominance displays and courtship rituals with a theatrical flair that is genuinely captivating to watch up close. Despite being commonly sold under the name Scooter Blenny, this fish is not a blenny at all but a dragonet in the family Callionymidae, sharing the same specialised feeding biology as the Mandarin Dragonet.

Purchasing this fish only for a system that already has a functioning refugium, an established live sand bed, and a documented pod population is the most responsible approach. When selecting a specimen, look for a fish with a rounded, full belly and active, exploratory behaviour; avoid any individual that appears thin across the midsection or lethargic. Captive-bred specimens are significantly preferable to wild-caught when available, as they are better adapted to aquarium foods and conditions from the start.

Also known as the Spot-Cheeked Surgeonfish or Brown Surgeonfish, Acanthurus nigrofuscus is not the most immediately flashy tang on the shelf, and that is precisely the point. Its colouration is sophisticated rather than loud: a warm brown to grey-brown body with a soft, unmistakable lavender wash across the fins, a scattering of bright orange spots dotting the face and cheeks, and a crisp forked caudal fin that becomes more defined with age. When stressed or asserting dominance, the dorsal fin and upper back lighten dramatically, sometimes taking on a distinctly yellow tone, giving this fish a visual communication ability that is fascinating to observe in a multi-tang system. Juveniles are darker, showing a deep brown to bluish-black body with vivid orange scribbles on the head that gradually break into spots as the fish matures. A diligent, tireless grazer with a wide Indo-Pacific distribution and a reputation for durability, the Lavender Tang is a natural fit for the reef keeper who appreciates understated elegance and genuinely useful algae management in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSophisticated lavender and warm brown colouration with vivid orange facial spotting is subtle, refined, and genuinely striking under blue-heavy reef lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the most effective film algae and hair algae grazers available in the tang family, working rock surfaces and the glass persistently throughout the day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy and adaptable once established, with a stronger tolerance for the kind of minor parameter fluctuations that challenge more delicate Acanthurus species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuveniles display attractive orange head scribbles that evolve into the distinctive spotted adult pattern, making this a fish with a rewarding visual transformation over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA wide natural distribution across the Indo-Pacific, Red Sea, and Australian waters means healthy, well-conditioned specimens are regularly available in the trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 22–26°C (72–78°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalinity: 1.020–1.025 SG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 8.1–8.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlkalinity: 8–12 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmmonia\/Nitrite: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrate: Under 15 ppm; stable, established water chemistry with strong surface agitation and high dissolved oxygen is important for long-term health and HLLE prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and temperament\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperament: Semi-aggressive.

This species is moderately susceptible to Head and Lateral Line Erosion (HLLE), which is almost always diet-related; a robust, algae-heavy feeding regimen and stable, high-quality water are the best prevention. Marine ich and velvet are the primary disease risks, and quarantine before introduction to an established display is strongly recommended. One notable behavioural trait worth understanding: the Lavender Tang will visibly lighten along the dorsal surface and upper back when stressed, asserting dominance, or during inter-tang displays, which can cause alarm in keepers who are not familiar with this species. This is normal communication behaviour and not a sign of illness. Once settled and feeding well in a mature system with established algae growth, this is a durable, long-lived tang capable of thriving for 8 to 12 years with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou will receive: 1 Lavender Tang (Acanthurus nigrofuscus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult colouring is a warm brown to grey-brown body with a lavender fin wash, vivid orange facial spots, and a forked caudal fin; juveniles show a deeper brown to bluish-black body with orange head scribbles that evolve into spots with maturity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColouring intensity and the prominence of the lavender wash vary between individuals and will deepen and refine as the fish matures in a stable, algae-rich system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize and exact patterning may vary; please see size options at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Little Shop of Coral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53487623766289,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5196\/6737\/files\/LAVENDERTANGAcanthurusnigrofuscus.png?v=1777656827"},{"product_id":"big-eye-squirrelfish-myripristis-amaena","title":"Big-Eye Squirrelfish (Myripristis amaena)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Brick Soldierfish is a cave-dwelling, nocturnal predator from the reef flats and seaward slopes of the Pacific, and one of the more visually dramatic members of the Holocentridae family available in the trade.

Keeping a relatively large supply of clean, heated, and aerated saltwater matching your display tank parameters on hand at all times is strongly recommended so that a massive emergency water change can be performed immediately if ostracitoxin release is suspected. Activated carbon will also help remove toxins from the water column and should always be running in a system housing this species.
