Hey guys. Quite often I see juvenile cowfishes being misidentified due to their small size and similar looks, so I decided to make a simple ID guide using shapes and patterns to hopefully make it easier to Identify the species of these small fish.
I hope this helps people here on the forum and maybe some divers who have come across cowfish out on the reefs :)

I won’t lie, I forgot the name of an oval and called it an egg. Can we call it an egg cowfish, I think it’s more fitting.
