Closely related to Pufferfish
and Porcupinefish,
several species occur in the waters of Sri Lanka. Like puffers some species are known to release a toxin from their skin when harassed. Seen here on top
is the Black Boxfish male (Ostracion
meleagris) and the quite secretive female. Below: The Yellow Boxfish (Ostracion cubicus).
