Cowfish, also known as boxfish or trunkfish, are species commonly displayed in public aquaria due to their unique shape and charismatic nature. However, when stressed, these animals can secrete a powerful and potentially fatal toxin from their skin. In one such instance, it is believed that toxin released from a honeycomb cowfish (Acanthostracion polygonius) was responsible for a large-scale mortality event resulting in the death of itself and 19 other fish species in a closed quarantine system.
