Boxfish - Ostracion cubicus

We have only recently been finding specimens of this adult boxfish, Ostracion cubicus (20cm), in flat, open areas and staying unusually motionless. Our previous sightings have usually been at a distance but on several different occasions lately, they seemed almost confused or perhaps bemused by our interest. Maybe it had to do with something they ate.
