Aracana ornata

Species of fish

Aracana ornata, also known as the ornate cowfish, is a species of deepwater boxfish native to southern Australia. First described by John Edward Gray in 1838, the species has a maximum length of 15 cm. They can be differentiated from their close cousins, the striped cowfish, by the upright look of the spines near their eyes, and their slightly smaller length. Their body is encased in a rigid box-like carapace composed of large sculptured bony plates; bony ridges with large recurved spines, dorsal and anal fins opposite and far back on the body, and bony plates on tail base absent/rudimentary.
