🐠 Yellow Boxfish ✨ Ostracion cubicus 🌏 Found in the wild: Tropical coral & rocky reefs across the Indo-Pacific & southeastern Atlantic — from the Red Sea and East Africa to Hawaii and southern Japan. Juveniles often hide among crevices and under ledges.  🎭 Behaviour: Generally solitary & shy; juveniles tend to be bolder with vivid yellow & spots but adults become more subdued. When threatened or stressed, they release a toxic mucus (ostracitoxin) as a defense.  🍴 Diet: Omnivore — grazes on

Joseph Leverton on Instagram: "5 fascinating facts about the Yellow Boxfish (Ostracion cubicus). 1. Box-Shaped Body: As their name suggests, they have a distinctive boxy, cube-shaped body with rigid bony plates under the skin, giving them protection but limiting how fast they can swim. 2. Bright Juveniles: Juveniles are a vibrant yellow with black spots, making them stand out on the reef. As they grow, their color dulls, and adults often develop more muted shades of brown, green, or bluish tones

How cute is this juvenile Yellow Boxfish 😍💛 (Ostracion Cubicus) With their unique box-like body shape and bright yellow colouring, they are usually very easily spotted and a scuba divers favourite! They can get to a size of 30cm but divers are fascinated by them when they are a juvenile 🥰 You can normally find them in coral reefs where they are chilling close to the reef as they search for food. They are omnivores, so they feed on algae, small invertebrates, and detritus. Even with their cute
