Yup, thats exactly why I asked how commonly this fish is kept.
BUT: My dad kept a longhorn cowfish,
Lactoria cornuta for several years without a single problem. Then he got worried that when it died it would release those toxins, as per what he read on the internet. Well its time came and the fish passed, yet nothing was killed.
This fish releasing deadly toxins is merely a myth. It may release toxins, but heck, so do your corals!
If
Ostracion meleagris posses the same threat, or may I say 'lack of' threat, then I would happily put this in my tank.
