Field Notes
Description:
Also know as Long-horned Cowfish, Horned Boxfish and Horned Trunkfish.
They feed on invertebrates and worms, and grow to a length of about 50cm.
Habitat:
Found singly on sand and mud bottoms of lagoons and seaward reefs. Widespread in the Indo-Pacific region.
Notes:
I photographed this cowfish during a night dive at a depth of about 8m. I was a bit frustrated that I couldn't quite get the whole fish in the frame...
