Tetrosomus gibbosus (Humpback Turretfish)

The fish is characterized by a rigid, bony, box-like carapace covered in a geometric pattern of hexagonal plates, each centered with a small, pale blue circular spot. The body is an amber-orange color with distinct dark radiating lines within the hexagons, and it features a prominent, sharp dorsal hump. It has large, dark, circular eyes, small pectoral fins, a fan-like tail fin with pale yellow and blue-tinted rays, and small, pursed, toothy lips at the front of its snout.
