The juvenile yellow boxfish is one of the most iconic species around. The pouting lips and awkward swimming style make this fish look like the ultimate underdog. Their bright yellow colour and polka dotted design make them unmistakable. Although they have a very herky jerky movement, they can put on surprising bursts of speed. They love to hang around in and around large coral heads where they can quickly hide from predators.
