Bluespine Unicorn Tang “Naso unicornis”

Description

Common Names :: Bluespine Unicornfish, Humphead Unicornfish, Longhorn Unicornfish, Longnose Unicornfish, Long-snouted Unicornfish, Unicorn Tang, Brown Unicornfish.

The species in the Naso genus, the unicornfish, are all known to be peaceful fish and the Bluespine Unicornfish or Unicorn Tang is one of the most mellow. Though it will constantly be on the move during the day, it will spend its time surveying the decor and munching on algae growths. It will be a little shy at first, but will adapt well to captivity if given it lots of room to roam around in and plenty of naturally growing algae. Once eating it can be offered a variety of algae based aquarium fare for its basic diet, along with some meaty foods.
