## Caption

Video by joelsartore | In the wild, ornate cowfish are found off the coast of southern Australia, usually in seagrass beds in depths up to 50 feet (15 m). When stressed, this species releases ostracitoxin from its skin, which can kill other nearby fish. That’s why it’s rarely kept by aquarium hobbyists. Video taken theomahazoo. To see more species featured in the Photo Ark, follow me joelsartore. #fish #cowfish #animal #wildlife #video #PhotoArk
