Danggit Bay!

I made a little research about Danggit to give you an idea of what kind of fish it is.

English Name: Sleek Unicornfish (aba! sosyal! hehe!)
Family: Acanthuridae
Order: Perciformes (perch-likes)
Class: Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes)
Scientific Name: Naso hexacanthus
Max. Size: 75.0 cm / 29.5inches
Environment: Marine-reef
Temperament: Harmless (buti naman! hehe!)

Food: Naso hexacanthus (Sleek unicornfish) feed on zooplankton such as pelagic tunicates, crab larvae and arrow worms. It also likes filamentous red algae. They are good eaters as soon as they have grown accustomed to aquarium foods. Suitable food sources include worms, live adult brine shrimp, larger shrimps, worms, euphausiids, live marine algae (attached or free-floating) and boild brussel sprouts and broccoli.

Here's a live one:
