Honeycomb Cowfish

A boxfish covered in a hexagonal, honeycomb-patterned bony carapace, with a pair of forward-pointing horn-like spines above the eyes that give the genus its "cowfish" name. Feeds by blowing jets of water at the sand to expose buried invertebrates, a technique shared with other trunkfish.
