article says its a juvenile box fish. Great link, good article and interesting slides! It would be so neat to do that for a living! I'm in the wrong line of work!

Actually I don't think the boxfish is the "new species" they are talking about. If you read to the bottom of the article it says some of the new species they discovered such as a worm with tentacles much like a squid's.
Madin said they had collected about 100 different specimens, including several possibly newly discovered species. One was a sea cucumber that is nearly transparent which could swim by bending its elongated body. Another was an unusually black jellyfish that was found near the bottom of the sea. But the most striking creature they found was a spiny orange-colored worm that had 10 tentacles like a squid, he said.

From experience, it is fun, unless you want to have a life, family and pay bills

It'll be interesting when they come out with the report and can say which ones are new discoveries.
