Although this fish can reach 18 inches in length, these fish were about 12 to 14 inches. The photos were taken at depths of 30 to 45 feet.
One more day of diving, then our season is over.

Honeycomb cowfish
The honeycomb cowfish is a member of the boxfish family. It has a sharp, forward-facing spine above each eye. This species varies in color from blue to green or yellow, and often it changes shade instantaneously. An electric blue shade seems to be one they switch on when interacting with species mates. The honeycomb pattern on the body is responsible for its name.
