Honeycomb cowfish




Named for the honeycomb pattern on its body, this cowfish has a remarkable ability to change color. Generally, their color varies from shades of deep green to pale yellow. However, when they are courting, one of the fish turns a rather electric blue, and rushes around like a neon light. These fish are always interesting to watch. Unfortunately, I was only able to get a head-on shot of the electric blue phase.
