THE YELLOW BOXFISH


The Yellow Boxfish can be recognised by its box-shaped body, bright yellow colouration and black spots. The species occurs in tropical and temperate marine waters of the Indo-West Pacific.
When in danger or under stress, they excrete poisonous proteins from their skin that may be lethal to any fish swimming in the surrounding waters.
