Camel cowfish Profile

The Helmet cowfish (Tetrosomus gibbosus) is distinguished by its unique, box-like shape with a prominent, rounded hump. It showcases a color palette of olive green to yellow, often with dark spots or patches. This species is native to the Indo-Pacific region, inhabiting reefs and nearby areas. In the aquarium hobby, the Helmet cowfish is relatively known but not as popular as some other marine species, partly due to its specific care requirements and potential to release toxins when stressed.
