Yellow boxfish are adorable members of the boxfish family (Ostraciidae) and grow no longer than 45 cm (18 inches). They are cute but poisonous; when feeling stressed or injured, yellow boxfish secrete a poisonous protein from their skin that proves lethal to any fish in surrounding waters. These reef dwellers are found throughout the Pacific and Indian Ocean, as well as the south eastern Atlantic ocean. 💛 Video by Matthew David Kaplan (IG: @matthewunderwater) | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR
