I have a Smith's blenny, Meiacanthus smithii, in my reef. He's neen know to grab food from my fingers...

Yeah, he's poisonous, but it's defensive. Unless you try and grab him by hand... and why would I do that?

No way. That fish would give me nightmares.

This little guy? Nightmares? Come on, now... Probably scared of Santa when you were a kid

I've handled a few fang blennies and they have ne er tried to bite me. I also find them to be very peaceful for the most part but it can be a little imposing if you see them yawn.
