Is the general consensus that Hippo Tangs have venom in their caudal spine?

The genera of Paracanthurus and Prionurus have venom glands, Acanthurus and Zebrasoma do not. I don't know whether Naso does or not.

There was a study done on all genera of fish that were believed to produce venom, since 50% of venomous vertebrates are fish and there have been beneficial medical applications using venom from snakes.
