- Info Camel cowfish (Tetrosomus gibbosus), Ras Muhammad National Park, Red Sea, Egypt. The common name is due to the hump on its dorsal keel and is a species of boxfish native to the Indo-West Pacific (including the Red Sea), but it has been established in the Mediterranean Sea via Lessepsian migration. It is mainly found at depths of 37–110 m (121–361 ft) on slopes or over muddy bottoms, but can sometimes be seen near shallow seagrass beds. It's normally around 20 cm (7.9 in) long when it is fully grown, but can reach up to 30 cm (11.8 in) in length. Like other boxfish species, its flesh is poisonous. It feeds on a wide variety of invertebrates and algae. Note: We have no FPs of the genus Tetrosomus and, in fact, this is the only examplar I've ever seen of this genus. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:05, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment This one is swimming away. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it was shy, but IMHO the most charasteristic property of this species, its shape, can be well observed from this point of view --Poco a poco (talk) 13:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Yes, but not FP for me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Sorry, technically fine but although the defining characteristic of the species is visible, that only part of the front is visible and it's swimming away IMO means it's not FP. — Rhododendrites talk | 01:54, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- "It's swimming away", well that's what all fishes do. In few cases small fishes enjoyed the lights and played around the camera but that's definitely not the case for bigger fishes. Poco a poco (talk) 07:48, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Swimming away. Thus unappealing view. Most of the other FPs show the animals under better angles, and that's why they're interesting. Here an ordinary picture of a fish from behind, in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:10, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Not good ange of view, IHMO, per above. -- Karelj (talk) 11:15, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
