Unicorn Tang???

Recently I went to Mohegan Sun in CT, and they had a huge saltwater tank there in a huge arch over a doorway. I saw a few exotic fish that has a thing protruding from its forhead. It looked like a "unicorn" if you will.. and they were tangs.. I was wondering if anybody knew what kind of fish this was.

There are several Unicorn tangs one being the Bluespine Unicornfish, ( Naso unicornis )
The problem and why they are not so common in typical home aquariums is that they get too big. 25 inches.
