Pacific Orange-spine Unicornfish (Naso lituratus)Observer
biniek-ioDescription
not sure about this ID, but that's the only one matching.
Based on:
- two spots (eventually spikes) by the tail - points to unicornfish
- yellowish mask
- black dorsal fin
- white to transparent end of tail (different to N. unicornis - please check last two photos as they swim together and are easy to distinguish)
