Good grief. Carlos The Jackal didn’t have as many alises as this fish. Naso literatus can also be know as, wait for it, barcheek unicornfish, clown tang, masked unicornfish, naso tang, orange-spine surgeonfish, orange-spine unicornfish, Pacific orange-spine unicorn, poll unicornfish, redlip surgeonfish, smooth-head unicornfish, and striped unicornfish.

It is a common reef fish that grows up to 45cm in length and it can be found on reefs all around the Indian and Pacific oceans.
