The Unicorn Tang is also known as the Blue spined Unicorn Tang.

The horn of the Unicorn develops when the fish is approximately 6 inches in size.

Their color is silver as a juvenile and turns to a olive green hugh as the fish matures to its adult coloration.

Its shape also will change from a more oval shape as a juvenile to a more bullet shape as it turns to an adult.

It needs lots of swimming room, not a tank cluttered with décor.

Unicorn tangs are generally passive, making good community fish.

In the wild, juveniles feed on algae while adults eat zooplankton.


Recommended Tank Size:

This handsome fish is very active; thus, it is important to provide it with plenty of swimming space.

A minimum recommended tank size is 90 gallons.

Food and Diet:

In nature it feeds almost entirely on brown macroalgae and should be offered a wide a variety of foods including plenty of algae.

Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of seaweed and algae.

These are the foods that will strengthen their immune system, reduce aggression and improve their overall health.
