Hi All.
I have space in my 6ft for one more big fish. I was going to get a Regal Tang but I read a number of reports that as they get older the chances of nibbling corals increase.
So I asked my lfs to see what there was in the way of Cowfish the next time she was at the wholesalers.
These are the pictures she has sent me today.

I initially thought this was a Boxfish but it does seem to have the makings of horns?

This one is definitely a Cowfish.

This was labelled as Caribbean Cowfish.
Potentially scrawled Cowfish?

I’m thinking I should err on the side of caution and just get the normal looking one but I seem to be having a bout of FOMO.
