    From my understanding, it "sheds" that film which is its venom.

    When you say you "planted some Items" what Items do you mean?

    FoxFaces will spike up to defend themselves. Mine will do it if a loud noise or unusual movement outside the Tank happens.

    Observed no shedding.

    I planted some mangroves and then pulled them back up. Planted oar grass and left it in place.

    It was the first time that I've been fooling around in the tank since the foxface has been added. Possibly that made him nervous. (It made me nervous too!)
