i got a cowfish 2 days ago. i acclimated him how they say on this site. i have a question. he seems to be a white color instead of the normal yellow i see in all the pictures. the only time he seems to be yellow is when i drop food in the tank. he slowly changes to yellow.

I had one that was white with blk. spots. I gave him away and the choice is yours now: Do you feed him your snails and hermits? I could't afford to feed him mine. He also ate my starfish. In the begining they were all fine, but after 3 months he took a likeing to them

he hasn't gone after any of them. he is pretty small right now. my hermits are all bigger than him. if he gets too aggressive he will live his life in my qt or go back. are cowfish poisionous like lionfish that if you touch them you get stung?

I had the boxfish version which is "less chance to be poisonous" I petted mine all the time during feeding and he had to problems
