The Blonde Naso Tang is a  gorgeous fish that is also known as the Orange-Spine Unicorn Fish and makes a stunning addition to a home aquarium.  As a juvenile this large, thick bodied tang, is grey with a yellow stripe on its dorsal and lower fins.  As it matures it becomes much darker in colour and turns a gorgeous blueish grey.  Its striping also darkens and becomes more vibrant with age.  The Blonde Naso Tang is one of the largest tangs and can grow as large as 18”.  It is generally peaceful towards its tank mates, but can be aggressive to other similarly shaped tangs.
