Anybody ever keep a FANG BLENNY?

There is a genus called Meiacanthus that has a number of species. Scott Michaels books say that they are not bothered by other fish and rarely do they ever bother other fish. With that said, he also goes on to explain that they are venemous and when they get swallowed by a predator, they will bite the inside of their mouth and hopefully get spit out.

So, what happens to the predator? Does he die?

I am asking because if I buy one and he feels threatened and bites my other fish, will that fish die?

i had a stripped fanged blenny for over a year until it jumped for some reason. they are not aggressive at all. they dont go looking for the fight, but if the fight come to them they will win LOL. it wont kill the other fish, its no more than a bee sting. the coolest part with that fish is he would yawn. his mouth would stretch out about 3x the dia of his body, and you can see the fangs. the fish never bothered me either, but i wouldnt go try to let one eat from your hand LOL.
