Underwater Wednesday: Cowfish

Pucker up!
 
This sweet little fishy looks like it wants to give you a big SMOOCH!
 
I just adore the cowfish. They’re so pretty with their speckled body, big bold eyes…and those trademark pursed pink lips!

Photo Fun Facts:

  • The cowfish have a triangular, yet boxy body with feather-like fins. 

  • This cowfish was about 10 inches long. 

  • Michael took the picture above at a depth of about 60 feet during a night dive. 

  • Once in a great while, cowfish will let you pet their tummies if you approach them super slowly with your hand out…and if they’re in a good moooo-d!
