Whenever I see these boxfish it amazes me that they get along as well as they do. They always seem to be struggling with the whole swimming thing, especially when there's a bit of surge.
Spotted boxfish (Ostracion meleagris)
Their super power is producing a toxic slime through their skin that can kill other fish. They live in shallow reefs along the tropical Indo-Pacific and Eastern Pacific where they can be found poking in and around the coral looking for polyps, algae, small crustaceans, sponges, and misc. zooplankton to nibble on.
A slice of life nature comic that follows the hidden lives of marine creatures just doing what they do. How big of a sea star can a seagull swallow? Can certain sea slugs regenerate most their bodies? Are sharks and octopuses friends, foes, or something else entirely? All these questions and more are explored in humorous single page narratives focusing on one or two species at a time.
