Unicorn Fish

Awash in a sea of blue, a school of unicorn fish—named for the mystical creature whose horn they mimic—swims toward the water's surface in the Seychelles. Unicorn fish are generally nonaggressive, but during a rare fight they defend themselves with forward-pointing prongs on either side of their tails rather than the prominent horn on their heads.
