Scrawled cowfish

This 8" scrawled cowfish was found way up on the beach at South Lido Beach. It appears to have been out of the water for quite some time and is unusually pale. When alive, it would be gold to yellow with broad blue lines. The hexagonal patterns on its body help distinguish this cowfish from others in the same family.
