The **Unicorn Tang** is a captivating and sizable species of surgeonfish. These fish exhibit a predominantly grayish-silver hue accented with blue highlights. As they grow, **Unicorn Tangs** develop a distinctive horn on their head and streamers on their tail.

Reaching up to 24 inches in length, **Unicorn Tangs** require a minimum tank size of 350 gallons. They are semi-aggressive but generally coexist peacefully with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them an excellent choice for reef aquariums. However, they may show aggression towards other tangs, particularly those in the Naso family. To minimize conflicts, introduce all tangs simultaneously in a spacious tank and ensure a constant supply of algae.

These fish are robust swimmers, thriving in surge zones around reefs. Therefore, it's crucial to provide ample swimming space and random turbulent water flow. **Unicorn Tangs** spend much of their time grazing on live rock for algae and establishing territories, so a tank with abundant live rock is essential.

As herbivores, **Unicorn Tangs** need a diet rich in greens. Offer them nori, marine algae sheets, mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality pellets and flakes, spirulina, and premium frozen foods to maintain their health and vitality.
