I was wondering if it is okay to have a Box fish or a Long Horn Cow Fish as a begginer to marine aquariums. I have read that if they get stressed or die they can release a toxin that will wipe out the entire tank. How likely is it that this could happen. I really want to get one but I don't want to wipe out my tank either. "double edged sword"
