Elegant Unicornfish darting over by rocks

Poster - Elegant Unicornfish darting over the rocky shallows

Elegant Unicornfish as it swims out over the rocky shallows towards the reef drop-off, showing the florescent orange and yellow details along its body and face. Also known by a wide variety of names due to its colourful appeal, the bright orange highlights of the Elegant Unicornfish provide dramtic contrast to the overal subtle hues of its colourings. Elegant Unicornfish were originally thought to be the Indian Ocean colour variant of Naso lituratus, but are now considered to be a seperate species.
