$The Yellow Boxfish Ostracion cubicus occurs in the tropical and subtropical Indopacific in lagoon and semi-sheltered seaward reefs in a depth range from 1-280m, but usually not deeper than 50m, max. length is 45cm. \nFrom the juvenile to the adult fish there is a big change in shape and color. This cube-shaped juvenile specimen would fit easily into a walnut. He swims over Flowerpot Coral Goniopora sp. \nThe omnivorous species feeds on marine algae, worms, crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish.\nOstracion cubicus is a solitary species considered relatively poor swimmer and for this reason, developed protection via toxin release: When stressed or injured it releases poisonous proteins from its skin that may prove lethal to any fish in the surrounding waters. The bright yellow color and black spots are a form of warning coloration (aposematism) to any potential predators. \nFlowerpot Corals Goniopora sp. occurs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans; from the coast of Mozambique, to the Red Sea, and east to northern Australia, southern Japan and Hawaii. \nThe appearance of this pretty coral belies its aggressive behavior. Colonies may be meters across and sometimes whole sections of a reef face are covered exclusively by one branching Goniopora species.\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°29'20.988 N 125°14'23.226 E at 22m depth$

The solitary species is often encountered in shallow water reefs near sand or seaweed areas. And also found in estuaries and protected muddy bays. This specimen was encountered at the Iro Wreck. The oil tanker Iro, a 143 meter wreck since March 1944, WWII, was ordered by the Japanese Navy during the 1920´s building programs. Although heavily overgrown with black coral and sponges, the torpedo hole is still clearly visible. The hull of the wreck stands upright between 15 m and 36 m water depth, the masts reach into shallow water. Palau, Iro Wreck 7°17'39.7 N 134°25'15.18 E at 22m depth
