Description
Short nosed unicorn fish (Naso brevirostris) is a unicornfish that lives in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They can be cooked or grilled whole, and are often caught by local fishermen with spears. This species feeds on algae near coral reefs. Their distinctive looks make them popular in the aquarium trade, but they must be kept in very large tanks. They are aggressive against others of their own species.
