[Data Summary] <i>Naso vlamingii</i> is a species of unicornfish in the
surgeonfish family known by the common names bignose unicornfish, scibbled
unicornfish, Vlaming's unicornfish, and zebra unicornfish. <i>N. vlamingii</i>
is a relatively large member of the Acanthuridae, easily reaching 60 cm. The
adult has tall dorsal and anal fins, vertical blue lines on its sides, and small
blue spots dorsally and ventrally. A broad blue band extends from the eyes to
the prominent snout. The coloration of the juvenile is a dingy green with blue
spots and lips, later turning deeper blue with purple markings. The fish turns
mud-brown while sleeping or when frightened, a form of camouflage. <br><i>N.
vlamingii</i> is found in the Indo-Pacific oceans off the coasts of East Africa,
on the islands of the Marquesas and Tuamotu, southern Japan and southern areas
of the Great Barrier Reef. This fish is mostly herbivorous but will eat small
crustaceans such as copepods. In captivity brine shrimp and mysid shrimp.
<br>Most of its natural diet is algae. It is most often found in association
with reefs and coastal lagoons, sometimes in small schools. <i>N. vlamingii</i>
has very little to commercial fishers but is occasionally available in the
marine aquarium industry, where it is a higher-priced, more uncommon tang. Here
we present the genome, which has an estimated genome size of 961.4Mb, scaffold
