Did you know that spotted unicornfish develop their distinct horns later in life?

Adult spotted unicornfish can be anywhere from bluish-gray to olive-brown in color. They often have small irregular stripes on the sides of their body. Juveniles, however, may have darker spots. The fish’s prominent horn is not found in juveniles and actually develops later in life.

They are typically found in small groups in reefs and along lagoon drop-offs but have also been spotted along rocky coasts. In addition, they may sometimes group into larger schools.
