Description: The Longhorn Boxfish is a tan and yellow fish with white and blue dots that originates from reefs in the Indo-Pacific. Uniquely shaped, this fish would be a great addition to a larger peaceful, fish-only aquarium. This fish can technically go into a reeF tank with caution. May need to upgrade the tank as this fish grows larger. Be careful as this fish will release a deadly toxin when stressed or when it dies. This toxin will affect other fish in the aquarium, so extreme caution is recommended.
