Hey all,

I have a striped blenny and it looks like it bit my Watchman Goby. I have been having a hard time finding information on the venom in terms of if it's deadly or not to other smaller fish.

By the looks of it, Meiacanthus venom is mainly used to stun fish and not actually kill them (Which is expected as these are a species that use venom as a last resort).
