Naso vs Naso blonde

[ek]

What’s the difference besides the price?

Fellow Brooklynite, I am assuming you know the difference in their appearences. These are just variants of the same species, Naso lituratus. The Blonde ones are typically collected in Sweden and northern European countries... okay bad joke. I know of the blonde versions coming from Hawaii, Maldives, Red Sea, Sri Lanka. No difference in care of them. They all like space. This is typical in many fishes. Off the top of my head, Chaetodon auriga (butterfly) from the Red Sea has no false eye spot, compared with Indo-Pacific ones. The Red Sea raccoon butterfly is classified as a different species all together. Thinking further, this is very typical in the Red Sea due I take it to isolation. The Red Sea regal angel is another example.
