Boxfish
Boxfish - Cowfish - Ostraciidae
Boxfish, also referred to as Cowfish, resemble pufferfishes in their square body shape and form. Boxfish have distinguishing patterns on their bodies as well that resemble honeycomb. Boxfish are very slow moving because of the weight of their bodies compared to the small size of their fins. These fish have a natural defense mechanism, so don't let their slow movement fool you into thinking that they will be prey for other fish.
