$Longhorn Cowfish Lactoria cornuta occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from Red Sea and East Africa to the Marquesan and Tuamoto islands, north to southern Japan, south to Lord Howe Island in a depth range from 1 to 100m, max. length 46 cm, common 40 cm. \nThe species lives on coastal muddy or sandy habitats in still bays and is commonly found in harbours and estuaries, feeding on benthic invertebrates by blowing away the sand. It's exactly what this specimen begins to do. \nCows have only front horns. The Longhorn Cowfish Lactoria cornuta has rear horns too! \nLembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia\n1°28'22.56 N 125°14'3.888 E at 17m$

$Japanese Inflator Filefish Brachaluteres ulvarum is primarily associated with the waters of the Northwest Pacific around Japan, but it has been documented in Indonesian regions such as the Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi, usually in a depth range from 25 to 30m, this specimen slightly shallower in Flowerpot coral Goniopora sp. \nMax. length is 7.5cm.\n\nThe secretive species inhabits bottoms with green seaweed on deep coastal slopes, usually among soft corals and feeds on algae and crabs. Like puffers, Brachaluteres ulvarum is capable of inflating its body. \n\nMany species occur in the Lembeh Strait at a shallower depth than elsewhere: with little current and relatively dark water, it appears to be deeper. \n\nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia \n1°27'39.69 N 125°14'33.342 E at 20m depth$

$Thornback Cowfish Lactoria fornasini occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from East Africa to the Hawaiian and Rapa Islands, north to southern Japan, south to Lord Howe Island and in the Southeast Atlantic, sometimes reaching the southeast coast of South Africa. The solitary species occurs in a depth range from 5 to 132 m, usually from 6 to 30m, max. total length 23cm. Thornback Cowfish inhabits clear outer lagoon and seaward reefs. Males are highly territorial. \nThe 'rowing' swimming motion is achieved using their dorsal, anal, and pectoral fins, while the caudal fin is reserved for bursts of speed. \nCowfishes have the ability to secrete a toxic mucus, ostracitoxin, as a chemical defense against predators. Released under stress, this toxin dissolves in water and can harm or kill nearby marine life, including the boxfish itself in confined spaces like tidepools. While effective for predator deterrence, the toxin can temporarily disrupt local reef ecosystems. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°25'51.21 N 125°11'5.142 E at 26m depth$
