SRC Member ydolphin Posted December 28, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 28, 2014 Rabbit fish or 'new year fish' is another family with venomous spines, their fins, esp. dorsal are sharp and extremely painful when you get pierced ... got pricked by a 2" juvenile when net casting and the throbbing pain lasted for a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member tuajia Posted July 4, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) While I was researching on beginner soft corals, I read up that Zoanthus (button polyps) and Palythoa species, which are popular soft corals, are actually highly toxic. If their toxins enter the bloodstream (maybe cuts on fingers or accidentally rubbing eyes) it can easily cause death. I added a link to wikipedia for easy reading. Other websites also report similar info. Might want to be careful just in case! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoantharia#Dangers Edited July 4, 2015 by tuajia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other websites also report similar info. Might want to be careful just in case! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoantharia#Dangers yah! I read about it too..... but some sources say that only some species are really toxic, while some are not? Not sure also, can any pro zoas hobbyists validate this information? On dealing with them, apparently it's best to frag them with gloves, eye protection. & must wash hands well after handling them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member andrwsaurus Posted August 29, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted August 29, 2017 Trigger fishes! Not exactly venomous, but they hella hurt when they bite and am sure their teeth holds quite a bit of bacteria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member soggycookies Posted February 21, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted February 21, 2018 Got pricked by my diadema urchin a few weeks back while doing tank maintenance. Finger still feels sorta weird now cause I got pierced along the side where the skin was pretty thin. Mild swelling that went away after a week. From my knowledge the spines of diadema urchin species are slightly venomous. probably not as bad as a Rabbitfish’s dorsal spine venom though Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junyan Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not toxic but just to be careful. Had a pistol shrimp in tank, heard a snapping sound, went to check and saw the shrimp picking on my extremely stressed foxface which had been very healthy, an hour later the foxface died. I think the shrimp killed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
