Sleek Unicornfish

Also called: Blacktongue Unicornfish

Scientific name: Naso hexacanthus

Unicornfish are a family of Surgeonfishes. Some, but not all, members of the family have a single "horn" on the forehead, giving the family its name. The Sleek Unicornfish is one of the larger members, and as the name implies, the body is a bit more streamlined that most stout-bodied Surgeonfish.
