I have to laugh....when I purchased mine (store best left un-mentioned), a young kid was preparing to catch the fish for me...

He had one hand in the tank and he was trying to scoot the fish over into a net. I happen to mention.."You know they are venomous, eh?". Well..obviously he didn't know that and the look on his face at that moment was pretty amusing.

That's funny, same thing happen to me at a Big Als' store in Toronto. I asked for the magnificent foxface in the tank and he starts with the net and can;t catch him, then starts coaxing him in the net with his bare hands and tell him the same thing you did, the look was aslo priceless. Then turns to me and says you catch him. Anyways, great looking fish and would say he is harmless. i just redid some rock in my tank and didn't think or look for him once since i know he just stay away!
