In a previous thread I mentioned that i was hoping to get a helmet cowfish (the type that are pyramid shaped & remind me of a UFO). In response 'S.Reef' mentioned that they can produce a toxic mucus. I have had difficulty finding much info on this matter. Does anyone have experiance of keeping these fish and could you give advice please.
