Description
The Orangespine Unicornfish. In latin Naso Elegans. Black base and orange and yellow fins and spines. Common in the Red Sea. Feeds mainly on leafy brown algae. Adults swim in pairs, occasionally also in groups. Max length 17 inches / 45 cm. The Lined Bristletooth is on the right side of the Unicornfish and at the righ lower corner you can see half of the Crown Butterflyfish.
Every detail in the cellular and chemical makeup of the corals we know today is designed to keep not just their own species thriving, but their entire habitat in balance. This is because nature is a problem-solver. For the last 3.8 billion years, life has survived through several mass extinctions, leaving us the blueprints for enduring global calamities. And at the heart of all life, from its very origins to today’s biggest challenges, is the ocean. There isn’t a living system on Earth that doesn’t depend on either the ocean’s abundance or its ability to regulate our climate. Yet marine research and its application to our climate crisis is consistently underfunded, undermining even our best efforts to restore our planet.
