Juvenile Boxfish

This juvenile boxfish didn't find a shelter within reach and thus decided that as long he was hoovering in front of the yellow coral nobody would be able to see its equally coloured body. Normally very shy, this one let me approach realy close. This picture was taken on Richelieu Rock, Southwest Thailand: a submerged pinnacle and one of the top dive sites in Thai waters. Nikon Coolpix 5100 + Nikon CP2 housing.
