I am doing a School project and cannot find the niche (the role of an organism in its ecosystem) of The Spotted Unicorn Fish anywhere. I have searched for well over an hour so can someone please help

Well, you won’t find the exact answer but can get some information on them which can lead you to reasonable deduction. These fish eat algae and plankton and hand out around the reef. They will defend their territory and have little spikes on their tails for defense (usually against other tang).
They will keep a spot of reef free of algae, which could potentially smother the coral. So they are keeping the reef safe. They are also food for larger predators.
maby you should try “simpler fish” like pike or other river fish? im not even shure the niche of this fish and ive seen there behaviour!
Mainly, it exists to make its environment cooler-looking.http://www.bubblingbrook.co.za/m_IMG_071…
The unicornfishes are herbivores. They eat mainly macroalgae. They are also prey for larger fish, and for people.
