When under stress, a boxfish (family Ostraciidae) will release the Ostracitoxin toxin (see: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/146/3641/244). It is an ichthyotoxic, hemolytic, nonprotein (which is apparently unusual, although similar to Tetrodotoxin in this way) poison in the mucous secretions of their skin. This is a heat-stable and nondialyzable; that is foamed in aqueous solutions and is toxic to various biological systems. It is unique among known fish poisons. It is toxic to other boxfish as well and looks like red tide and sea cucumber toxins in general properties. Although it is not recommended, it is a growing fancy to keep boxfish in a home aquarium. Members of the family Ostraciidae secrete an ichthyotoxic mucus from their skin when stressed or disturbed.
