What is another word for boxfish?
Pronunciation: [bˈɒksfɪʃ] (IPA) 
Boxfish is a term used to describe a type of fish that is characterized by its box-shaped body. The term boxfish is often used interchangeably with other synonyms such as cowfish, trunkfish, and cofferfish. Cowfish is derived from their cow-like head shape and behaviors, while trunkfish is attributed to their hardened exoskeleton that resembles a trunk. Cofferfish stems from their ability to puff themselves up like a box, making them look like a treasure chest or coffer. Although these terms have distinct origins, they all refer to the same family of fishes with unique adaptations that allow them to survive in a variety of environments, from coral reefs to sandy flats.
