The Spiny Boxfish is a distinct and fascinating marine fish, recognisable by its box-like shape and spines that protrude from its body for defense. Known for its slow and deliberate movements, this fish displays a variety of vibrant colours and patterns, making it a visually captivating addition to saltwater aquariums. However, it requires careful handling and a well-maintained environment, as it can release toxins when stressed, posing a challenge to both the fish itself and other tank inhabitants.
