These are not supposed to be unicorn fish, but narwhals, and they really have such a horn. However, the horn is actually a gigantic tooth. Nature is full of wonders!

I suspect that most of the unicorns that used to gallop around here eventually got fed up, jumped into the sea, and evolved into narwhals (or into crabs, as many animals become crabs over time). Other unicorns stayed on land and evolved into rhinoceroses. Or into land crabs.

Fun fact, teeth actually started as body armor, and evolved into teeth to break said armor in other species (source, a minute earth vid iirc)
