Well that's a mouthful of a name, but a lovely fish to encounter. We often see a few of these, but the other day we encountered hundreds of them in aggregations. They were small (8 or 10 inches) but made a striking impression on us. Despite their name, this species does not possess a unicorn horn. The Hawaiian name for orangespine unicornfish is umaumalei.
