my new velvetfish

I just got this little guy yesterday. It is a velvetfish, aka Caracanthus madagascariensis. I'll try to get some better photos later. It is such a lovely color. White with tiny red spots that resemble polyps almost. It has some stiff white shafts on the pectoral fins that I believe release venom when something tries to eat it.

Anyone else have any experience with these?
