How poisonous are foxfaces?
 

So my dumbass maroon clown got stung again by my foxface. The clown is a good 6 inches and very territorial and the foxface is closer to 3 inches and pretty timid. I've got lots of rockwork and it's a big enough tank that they can stay far apart, they just chose not too.

What sort of tolerance do fish that just don't learn have to a sting like this?

A customer at the shop has had his fox face kill his atlantic blue tang, so must be potent enough.

I had no idea foxes are a threat to other fish. How do they accomplish this?

there spines on top are poisonous to other fish and us as we'll...:)

as well.

Foxface spines don't seem to bother my regal angel any...she grabs them in her mouth when she gives the foxface a shake.
My Achilles has been poked as well in the many battles they have had with no lessons learned...luckily the achilles finally won supremacy so that isn't an issue anymore

technical much
i guess you have never made a spelling error either right:rolleyes:

It is funny to hear that my FF is always getting pushed around and has never poked anyone!

My tangs always pick on my foxface. They grab his spines and shake, like Marie said. I was nailed by my foxface once when I was siphoning, and cornered him. I got a really good jab to my finger, and it bleed for a real long time. I did not get sick or feel much of anything, aside of hurt feelings. It hurt pretty bad for awhile too.

For most people the reaction is very similar to a bee sting...that being said if, you dont react well to bee stings then caution should be exorcised.
