Description

The Blonde Naso Tang, also known as the Orange Spine Unicornfish, darkens with maturity. As a juvenile it is gray with a yellow stripe on both the dorsal and anal fin. When matured the body takes on a darker bluish-gray tone and the juvenile striping is supplemented with additional color. The tail takes on a lyre shape and two yellow patches appear at the peduncle spines near the tail. A thin, black mask forms between the eyes and mouth, and the lips develop a yellow color. Naso Tangs from Hawaii are often more brightly colored than those found in other areas.

The Blonde Naso Tang Fish is a great fish for single fish only tanks and also reef aquariums.
