Naso Tang Streamer: The Elegant & Unique Unicornfish

The Naso Tang Streamer (Naso brevirostris), also known as the Short-horned Unicornfish, is an elegant and highly sought-after fish for the spacious marine aquarium. This tang is easily identified by its unique features: a brownish or grayish body covered in numerous small black spots, a short horn-like protrusion on its forehead, and, most notably, the long filaments or "streamers" that extend from its caudal fin as it matures. While it is generally peaceful with most other species, it can be territorial towards other tangs. As a herbivore, it is a fantastic algae-eater, making it a valuable and hardworking member of any clean-up crew. It is completely reef-safe and will not harm corals or invertebrates.

Why the Naso Tang Streamer is a Great Choice:

• Elegant Appearance: Its unique coloration, "horn," and caudal streamers make it a true showpiece.
• Excellent Algae Control: It tirelessly grazes on nuisance algae, helping to keep the tank clean and healthy.
• Completely Reef-Safe: It will not harm corals, clams, or other invertebrates.
• Adds Energy to the Tank: It adds a lot of energy and graceful movement to a spacious aquarium.
