Where do lipstick tangs live?

Answer 1

The Naso Tang, also known as the Lipstick Tang or Orangespine Unicornfish, was described by Bloch and Schneider in 1801. They are found widespread throughout the western and central Pacific; Japan, Hawaii, the Rapa Islands, Tuamotu and the Marquesas.

In their natural habitat they are found at depths between 16 - 295 feet (5 - 90 meters). They occur singly, in pairs, or most often in small (occasionally large) groups above coral rocks and rubble in coastal and inner reef flats and reef slopes. Juveniles, which occur in groups sometimes mixed with other similar sized acanthurids among shallow rocky reefs, are generally imported from Hawaii.
