leaflip soapfish.......
bio: grouper family, toxic slime can be emmitted if scared or if dies, great looking fish(pic is not), personality like a spinny boxfish.
this thing is great follows me around the glass and even eats silversides out of my hand.
my concern is: I've had a racoon butterfly and a saddle grouper die. my theory is that the slime is on the soapfish at all times and does not actually ooze. ?'d the specialists at liveaquaria.com and they are not to sure but side with my theory. my fiji damsels have not died. they also have not come in direct contact .(touching while swiiming against power head current)
if any experiance with one of these fish please comment.
thank you
