The Helmet Cowfish (Tetrosomus gibbosus), also called the Camel Cowfish or Hovercraft Boxfish, has a drab pale tan body with random blue blotches, occasional black dots, and large blue eyes. It needs expert care, a minimum 680-liter tank, and releases the lethal ostracitoxin when stressed, so it should not share a tank with valuable fish; it may nibble tubeworms and has the peculiar habit of spitting at the surface when hungry.
