Sea Goblin

Get him to prick you and let us know the results, purely for our amusement you understand lol Only jokin, i'd still be very careful around him. He might not be straight up deadly but if you get stung with no-one around or you're allergic to it, you could be in big trouble. Take Care.

it is a sea goblin allright. i never heard of their poison, but the spines are down right nasty and all over the place. they are not reef safe as far as I know, though, but it's too late, there he is, hanging out in your tank. cool fish, but kinda freaky looking. keep us updated

What did they put him in? they would puncture holes in a regular bag. But nice fish.

its stronger than a lionfish for sure. Lionfish will still sting, but the only way i think it could really ever be life threating is if you were allergic, kind of like a bee sting.

Cool fish, be careful =).

I don't have any shrimp or anything in my tank, just an angler and an eel. They doublebagged him in plastic bags, no problems.

Great looking fish Liz...and to be honest, i would not care what a shop owner would say about the sting...its nasty and potentially fatal....and that aint no risk worth takin....lol..

Good luck, hope it settles in well..
