i was at the lfs and saw what they called a helmet boxfish or helmet cowfish, i cant remember which. but it was the coolest lookin little fish, bright orange with beedy little eyes and it was tiny, and really looked like a helmet. its body was different than other box/trunkfish. anyways, i was wondering where i could find some more info, mainly pics until i can get my SW tank, ill just have to enjoy this fishy on my desktop... i ran a search on google, but didn't come up with anything. so i guess the direct question is, what are the best sites to get species pics from.? thanks alot everyone.. happy aquariaing...

Total marine idiot here... but I was searching for something a few days ago and came across this site on cows quite by accident... luckily it was still in my history... but the pics here still have long horns. Looks like some good info though.

It is not a long Horn Cow this person is describing. Take a look at this link and this should be the fish you saw http://www.cowfishes.com/helmet.html Hope this helps.
