Scrawled cowfish (Acanthostracion quadricornis) is a boxfish species native to Eastern Atlantic, known for its attractive color pattern. A shallow-water species, its survival strategy if disturbed is to remain motionless, probably relying on camouflage against sea grass to survive. Scrawled cowfish is quite popular in the aquarium trade for its vivid colors.
