Title
A great Naso Tang!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:
Size M: approx. 3 - 4"



There once was a fish called Naso Tang
Whose snout was as long as a gangling fern frond
With black spots and a neon blue hue
Kelp forests were their favourite rendezvous
Make sure to give them lots of space to swim beyond!
