Ostraciidae
The family "Ostraciidae," commonly known as boxfish, includes various species of marine fish characterized by their unique, box-like shape. These fish have a hard, bony outer shell that provides protection from predators. Boxfish are typically found in warm, shallow waters and are known for their vibrant colors and patterns.
Boxfish are slow swimmers and often rely on their camouflage to blend into their surroundings. They primarily feed on algae, small invertebrates, and detritus. Some species within the Ostraciidae family, such as the cowfish and trunkfish, exhibit interesting behaviors and adaptations that help them thrive in their aquatic environments.
