Yellow Boxfish

Ostracion cubicus

Reef Safe with Caution

The Yellow Boxfish, scientifically known as Ostracion cubicus, is admired for its bright yellow coloration and distinctive box-like shape. Its body is covered with a smooth, bony armor that gives it a unique and appealing appearance. While generally peaceful and intriguing to observe, this fish should be kept in well-established tanks as it can be sensitive to water quality and may occasionally nip at corals and invertebrates. The Yellow Boxfish thrives in aquariums with ample swimming space and hiding spots, making it a visually striking and dynamic addition to larger marine setups.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
