Best of Mike #274

This fellow is a Honeycomb Cowfish. That honeycomb pattern covers their whole body and they have a sharp spine above each eye and two more in front of the anal fin.

Their overall color can be shades of blue to green to yellow.... which they have the ability darken or lighten in order to blend in with the surrounding area.

They are a member of the boxfish family, making them a slow and awkward swimmer.

But they are extremely wary and have the ability to twist, turn and dodge to make themselves a challenging photo op, even if they are not fast.
